Really? I thought that was about average! :D :lmao:

I have a Motorola like that table model, Charlie. There has got to be some trick to pulling the chassis-all I could figure to do was to take the cabinet completely apart. Once I got it recapped it worked great.

This was a CRT that RCA brought out in the late 30's for use with CRO's & TV experaments, I remember seeing an ad for them in an old QST printed in late 1938, These crts came with either green P1 or white P4 phosphours & they were electrostatic deflection as well.

I wonder if that's where RCA got the idea for the tilt-out control panels on its color consoles of (I'm guessing) the '70s.

BTW, to respond to an earlier comment made here regarding SC color TV, I honestly don't believe Stromberg-Carlson made color sets (the company may have gone out of business before color really caught on) and if they did, the sets may not have sold very well. The last b&w SC console I remember seeing belonged to my aunt, who bought it in the '50s. The set had a white cabinet with doors (and Chinese accent pieces on the door pulls, IIRC) to hide the CRT.

Stromberg made a model 102CM, using a 21AXP22 and a RCA CTC4 chassis in their own cabinet. They may have made later sets.

Did RCAs have tilt-out controls on some models? I have several ads for Admirals with that feature.

I know that some Sears sets used this, and I believe Magnavox---dunno about RCA

There are also some RCA models which have a very long narrow tilt out control panel with all the knobs in a row, plus there are some which have slide controls in them. These tilt-out control panels only seem to be used from 1969-1974.
Some of these sets have a latch on the panel under the handle maybe to help prevent little kids from messing with the controls.

Stromberg-Carlson 15" color
 

[QUOTE=Charlie]Polaraman,


Curiousity got to me, so I went digging thru my Sams index. Come to find out, I found only one listing for a Stromberg Carlson color tv... Model K-1 in Sams 265-13. I pulled it, and it's a 15" set. I was not aware that Stromberg Carlson made a 15 inch color set in the beginning. I don't recall seeing one of these on any of the websites featuring 15 inch color sets. I guess if anyone had one of these, it would be rare as heck!!!




Here's the Sams folder for the Stromberg-Carlson K-1 15" color set. It was their own design. Notice, in the 2nd pix, the separate lower chassis with 4 5U4G low voltage rect. Set had a total of 44 tubes including 2 6CD6G Horz outputs. 15GP22 picture tube.

Don't remember ever seeing a control called 'horiz lock' on any of my sets. There are already horiz hold, freq., lin., size, drive and centering controls there so what does 'lock' do?
