Kutztown Panasonic CT-26
 
I found this little gem from 1971 or so at Kutztown. Badged as Pana-Color at the handle. The CRT is 12" or so on the front. Matsu 320RB22A CRT. Nine original Matsu tubes. No date codes. Delta gun for sure with blue on the bottom. Dot screen. Focus is a bit soft. Width is a bit wide.

The "Vacation TV" (instant on) button was smashed in. I bent the chassis back and fixed and shut off. The set powered right up and worked.

The CRT is a bit tired (color can be very saturated vs. brightness) and I need to find the Beltron adaptor for testing. And a quick look inside did not show the focus control. Most controls are on the back. More searching needed unless someone knows the location of the focus.

The seller had two PortaColors that I missed. Stripe tubes both working. $25 each. Not much else of interest this time.

That's a neat little tv, the larger screen sets of that time had the same layout, and same
front on the tv, knob layout. If I remember right, they had pretty interesting
power supplies on them.... Nice find....

Nice find. Those little color Panasonics are very scarce these days.

Nice little sets. Rejuve the green & it will look
great. If you dont have the adaptor make up a
universal one.
There are several yellow 'lytics in the AGC that go.
Also the clear micas in the hoz osc will intermit & kill
the output tube.
