Yes, it's really a tresure. I have done my first restauration job of a color tv set in 1975, and I need one year for it. It was a Saba Schauninsland T2500E color, a German set from 1967/1968 with a A63-11X color crt. This is 30 years ago. I have seen many unnumbered color tv sets since that time, but I never touched a set with my own fingers which is older than 1967. I knew that Americans had color tv even in the 1950s. But I didn'nt believe that I would get such a set in my whole lifetime. This is not only a set, but it's a piece of history for itself, which one can find only in the U.S..
The most beautiful German color tv set ever manufactored was - in my opinion - the first Telefunken set of 1967, the PALcolor 708. Here is a photo of this set from a guy who lives in Wuppertal. A set with a strong A63-11X, very rare. (Most of this color crt's had a bad red gun after appr. six years.)
