Help ID a TV from around 1957
Guys,
Here is a picture of a TV set we had cropped from a picture labeld 1957 Christmas. I would appreciate it very much. Thanks. Last edited by Crist Rigott; 12-07-2016 at 08:58 PM. |

Looks like a Muntz.

Yep! something like this ( but likely a 21inch model ) :

I should say that this TV was a table top and not a console.

The name on the pencil box looks to short to be Muntz, looks like RCA to me.

Thanks for the input guys, but this TV was B&W.

The name does look shorter but it's not RCA and the plate does look exactly like it otherwise. Perhaps a set Muntz built for someone else? Not too many names shorter than Muntz though.

I'm thinking it might be an Arvin model 8179-TM.
http://www.tvhistory.tv/1953Advertising.htm It has the same mask but the knobs are slightly different. Last edited by Crist Rigott; 12-07-2016 at 08:57 PM. |

Very likely close, but knob/crt width ratio says 21" to me... note that the Arvin next to it (8171) in the brochure seems to have knobs that better match your set. jr Last edited by jr_tech; 01-04-2016 at 05:00 PM. Reason: add 21" guess |

Wow, you are right about the knobs. I see what you mean on it being a 21 incher.

I found it! It's in Louisville Ky. I'm dealing with the buyer as to payment and when I can pick it up. Almost 3 years now looking. Guys never give up!
