VERY kewl set !

Love it! :thmbsp:

I'm hoping to find me a Setchell color roundy too some day. I have found a latter 60's SC rectangular set, which I understand is also quite uncommon.

Awesome, and rare....I've seen just four SC sets in 30+ years of repairing them. Only one was a color set - Dad took it in from another dealer to fix, as the other dealer was terrified of "that oddball thing" - so SC sets got the nickname "oddball" with Dad.

I have an SC B/w set myself - low emission CRT on mine, a classroom set with key locked control door...someone else here has the same set, IIRC...

When I was in high school I helped out at a TV shop that sold S C. They were good sellers for odd locations (oil rigs in the gulf for one), where service was not easy (helicopter ride). The modular chassis made repairs easier than the normal repair as the tech could bring the needed modules with him and take the defective one back and repair it in the shop. I do remember thinking how strange they looked.

That set is awesome!

I installed and repaired Setchell-Carlson (later Audiotronics, then Dotronix) commercial CCTV monitors for decades, and they (all black-and-white ones in my case) all used plug-in modules into the mid-1980s or later in some cases. To see a color, tube-based set with the same module concept is really cool.

WOW.. I love that set...

That tilt-down panel with the convergence controls is a nice design feature, too.

I think you got the better deal. Advanced engineering, this kinda thing is right up my alley. I like different.

Everything looks so neat and organized.

in almost 55 years dabbling in the business,i ve only came across 1 setchell carlson color set.it was a 23v set with a rauland crt.looked well built and pretty nice wood cabinet.tuner was shot but it was a very good looking set.

Those adjustments were well thought out on placement. You know, the front of the TV, where you can see what you're adjusting. In genius design right there!

The only Setchell Carlson color set, I worked on was a 23V set with a RCA 25XP22, that was bad.
Typical S-C quality, but nothing real special. The color circuitry was pure RCA CTC15 clone. :boring:

Just curious...which shop sold S.C. in N.O.?

I really can't wait to restore this set! I will update this thread as soon as work begins :) :banana:

Yes Unit-ized meant modular. The very first modular TV, I think. Schools loved the black and white models. They ran forever. I did not know that S-C made color sets that way. Awesome score.

Mark, what is the model number of this set? I'm curious to look up the schematic.
