French Roundie
 

G'day all.

Been checking out this French TV history site given on the ETF updates page and on this page http://radio-piffret.pagesperso-oran...Television.htm which features the development of television in France there is a roundie colour TV which l believe is likely to be a French made set due to its unusual control panel on the right, I can't read French but I guess from the description the TV is a CFT RS 15.

Anyways thought I'd let you's know of it, I'm interested to know more about this TV so anyone with info on it I look forward to your response.

Says it was made in 1968 by CTF using RCA tube (using Google Translate)

Looks like they used an RCA sourced CRT bezel, from the CTC-11 era. Lots of makers seemed to utilize that one. Very interesting to see this!

Either it has an undersized CRT or a massive cataract....
