Smile 80" RCA Projo

Went on a service call on a ptk195 RCA Projo the other day. When I came in and saw the set, I said Hmm 195. The customer said Yes I believe you are right. Kind of unusual for these numbers to mean anything to John Q Public, so I Quizzed him. Found out he worked for RCA for 38 years. Worked on the selectavision project, ending up in design on projo styling. He said he had something I would probably be interested in seeing. He told me he has the third prototype of an RCA 80" projo, probably from around 1985. It is buried in the garage right now, and I will have to wait until he returns from Florida in the spring. He also told me he has some original engineering drawings for the SelectaVision units! And lastly, he said the stepping "stones" in his garden, are Magnesium cabinet lids from the first gsneration CED units!
Wow! I can't wait for spring. Anyone know anything about the 80" ?
Thanks!
Charlie
