I have more pictures that I took but forgot to post, in part because my hands were shaking so much just from excitement.
A Dimensia has been something like my White Whale set, and to find this late 80's example with the 27" screen and comb filter, in this good of shape. I am still in shock. And it was like 8 or 10 houses down from where I live too!
And the lady who threw it out told me it was her grandmother's TV, and that her grandmother meant to throw it out but missed trash day, so she took it home to throw it out, and I happened to find it!
Okay then, so more pics:
Allllll those inputs and controls and adjustments...
So this is a CTC 140E chassis. Dunno what the E means but I would guess a later revision?
These are probably the best speakers I have ever seen in a 27 inch set.
I hooked the TV up to a converter box and the picture is near flawless! Corner convergence is maybe a pixel or two off, but I don't want to mess with it.
I don't think the chassis has ever been touched. It is all original and I do not want to mess with it. I mean if that solder issue with the daughterboard comes up I'll fix it of course, but this TV is so nice... I really don't want to molest it.
