Mad Men TV's
 

Saw a couple TV's on Mad Man tonight.

First up is the white set below, I couldn't tell if it was real or a mock up, later on it shows it with a raster and the shape of the CRT looks like a 23" B&W from the mid 60's. It appeared to actually be working because when they moved it there was a slight banding artifact from the camera.

Still later there's part of a large color console in an office, looks like it could be an RCA CTC40 model. This season is set in 1968 so that would be about right.

Seeing post title made me think "Admiral" but after seeing photos, I guess Zenith because of conical-shaped selector knobs.

I still do TV spotting myself, really hard now with all the
plain Jane black boxes from the 90's. They have NO character.

Console- not enuf, maybe when I was still fixing them............
B&W- Looks very Zenith, late 60's 16" in distance shot BUT
Set looks to deep & boxy, CRT too dark, seems to have set of
ears on to, could have just pulled up the built-ins.
Any right side shot to see if it has side knobs ala Zenith ?
I bet its a mock-up. Just dont look right.........

BTW abt 10 yrs ago someone brought in a suit-case Zenith
for recycle ( paid $25 fee). It still worked real nice & had near
mint cosmetics. The owner put it out front, couldnt junk it.
Some cat came in that was making a movie & needed an old
set for a prop. he HAPPILY paid $200 for it! $200 + $25
more than we made on a 35" XBR !!!
Think it was a B movie, slice & dice genre. He told the owner
he would drop off a copy when done, have to call him & see if he did.
