New TV Day: '58 Empress Electronics Super Fringe!
 
http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...4463ad4fdd.jpg Got this from a deceased estate sale.. I'm quite happy, though the 6AL3 in the TV section was cracked :(

I'm surprised nobody has commented on the set, it is a really nice set and it's in great shape for such an old telly. I may cannibalise my old HMV Trent for the 1S2 and the 6AL3...

I generally comment on Euro designs and multi-standard sets, as I have a few in my collection.
Your two sets must have a mains transformer, as it uses a 6AL3 damper tube. A few firms in the US used them, mainly Motorola. The 1S2, as well and they're very inexpensive here.
I have two Grundig NTSC sets, where the CRT protrudes from the mask like yours. The color CRT's are Toshiba. :yes:
