other sets on top of it.A flat top set is a bonus when you go beyond tv collector
to tv hoarder,I also don't think it would fit in the back of a hearse(without help
of a tree chipper,as kx250 mentioned):D

Maybe you could impale them on that big sail/spike :D

yes it is the original tv in the other link u can see that in the 1962 deluxe model it is a square look instead of the rounded sets in the previous models.....:yes:

It will fit in your Cadillac, but you have to drive 2-times.
In the center is a rod, you have to loose the bracket and the wiring (plugs)
:tresbon:

Speaking of Virgil Exner, I own a body-off-frame restored 1958 Plymouth Fury. It looks like it rolled off Plymouth's old Detroit Assembly Line.

Nice. I like Chryslers from the "forward look" era. 361? Got any pics?

And I like the Komet, I was just thinking they should have made a remote controlled model.

TV-collector 11-02-2009 09:41 AM

There was a cable remote, but only for the TV available.:thmbsp:

Did it have a "DISAPPEAR" button?

Sam Cogley 11-03-2009 06:46 PM

Seriously...what is with all of this Komet hate?

TV-collector 11-04-2009 12:04 AM

Hi,
Sam, it`s an envy discussion.:thumbsdn:
I thought, that this is a german problem, like greens and some europeans
talk down 50s US cars, just because they don`t have the money to buy
and drive them.:tears:
Here it is the same.
What you find here are high quality elements of early HiFi, tape recorder
and record player made by Telefunken, radio with FM Stereo and PP out-
put and some ~11" speakers.:tresbon:
It has no disappear button, but a "!proud to be the owner" button,
which can`t be switched-off!:thmbsp:
My Comet (1959 top model - TV motorized channel turret tuner) was a
re-import from the states.
I had to buy it, because my father saw once one laying in the street trash, but thought, that it is selfmade art.:screwy:

Sandy G 11-04-2009 06:06 AM

Yeah-I've thought, that while we kinda "snort" at the Komet's looks, the construction & finish of it was typically German of the period-Which is to say, second to none. Would I like to HAVE a Komet ? Hell, yes !! It would be an almost impossible decision to choose between a Komet, a CT-100 or a TRK-12, if I ever had to pick which one of the 3 I could have. Having said that, would I still make cheap jokes about the Komet ? Of course, because "Cracking Wise" is what I DO.

TV-collector 11-04-2009 08:55 AM

Hey Sandy G.
You will realize that you need them all!:tresbon:
Start saving, they all are collectable, the Kuba Comet is the rarest and
there is never made something like this again.:thmbsp:
A pre-war TV is a must for a TV collector!:drunk:
Yes, and a 50s color TV with a round tube is the only thing I don´t have
in my collection!:tears:
But time goes by......:ntwrthy:

Sandy G 11-04-2009 10:11 AM

Oh, yeah, Me Want 'Em ALL...But I have "Champaigne tastes on a Beer Budget..." I guess I'd add a Dumont Royal Sovereign to that list...That's another "Beau Geste" set, basically CAN'T be repaired, because the CRT has a design flaw, IIRC.
