Anyone familiar with this set? It's at an upcoming local estate sale......it looks like it cost quite a bit when new.....

That has a similar look to a System 3 20" monitor I have, 1987 vintage.

That's sharp! It feels like it should have an "Advanced System 3" emblem on the top right.

Man, that's sweet.

About Y line. Fold down door has membrane key pad on it
with normal pots for pix controls. Should have a jack pack,
stereo etc. I had the similar 20" set. IIRC uses 9-214 main
board. A very nice set. I dont remember selling any so
model wise quite rare......... I would grab it if cheap.

Snag that baby! Get some S.C. Johnson furniture wax action going. I agree with dishdude, looks like an Adv. System-3 dressed up in Sunday Best.

I think it would make a nice replacement for that RCA whose CRT got necked. Your CTC120 console is nice, but still...

I have to admit.. that looks very, very handsome and out of the ordinary. :scratch2:

You have an amazing memory!

What size picture would this be, and what year? Not sure if I'm in love with it yet.....but worth a look. The estate sale is at a house in one of the most expensive neighborhoods in the area.

Extrapolating from the ashtrays up top I'm going to say 85% chance its a 20" (19"?) with 15% that its a 24".

As for years, No earlier than 86, no later than 91.


I can't wait to see how wrong I am... :yes:

If they want much for it, my advice would be to see what kind of picture it makes before handing over any cash.

It's probably a 25" from '84-'86. I think they went to putting the lightening bolt logo on everything in '87.

Yeah, my '88 console has the lightning bolt-style logo, and I've seen nearly identical sets with the block lettering.

I think it's a 25" set. It may have Bose audio in it too.
