I agree with Phil, somebody needs to study and write this stuff, and it might as well be you! Post your findings on VK, it shows up easily on google searches.

I used to explore a TV dump in the woods, put there by a retired Sears tech. I remember several sets like this in the pile. The remote really makes this one, very rare.

Yes, I feel that I'm obligated to collect this information and preserve it for future generations. Ill continue coming to this forum and describing all the tvs which come into my possession, and list the ones I currently own.

@ Charlie
I find those receivers pretty convenient for places without enough space for a DVR. Decent performance, too.

Agree that's a really attractive looking set. I think some of the early 60's sets will have great collecting potential in the upcoming years. 60's electronics were still made reasonable well(at least by today's standards), and the CRT's are generally more widely available and have better brightness and contrast. IMO that make them fun sets to collect and watch.

It looks like the yoke needs to be rotated a few degrees...

Yeah, I noticed that too. Playing the 1st season of friends, though, which takes up the whole screen as opposed to the Direct-Tv, looks fine. Besides, touching a deflection yoke, with all those big coils and wires, feels like its going to turn me into a piece of burnt toast lol.
