I am bringing this thread back as page 2 has the pictures that many people want to see of the set that is for sale. I never had time to fix the color issue and the super sharp black and white picture is a little jittery, so I think some recapping of at least the horizontal deflection circuitry would be in order before the set is put to good use. I REALLY want to sell this set least of everything, but the right deal will take it. I meant to make room by getting rid of other sets and radios to justify keeping this beauty and getting it set up for fairly regular use. Although I am a TV hobbyist, I will never understand alot about desirability with old sets. To me a 1964 color set would not be all the rage as I have much more interesting things to let go of. I never found a home for my 24" 1958 Space Command and may never find one. To me a 50s set with a large screen and remote control would be more interesting and out of the ordinary than the 1964 color set. Same with my 1947 RCA 8T-243 as far as being interesting, but I feel that it will find a home because there are the collectors who are just into early small screen stuff. The 50s to me all to often gets overlooked and some of the most interesting and best looking, and best performing sets came around the mid 50s. I am hoping that one of the many interested parties will simply come with a van and do a 'bundle' package deal so I can concentrate on only a few favorites that I will keep.
