The picture tube is really rectangular, it was the first one in the world. Pictures of the tube from the inside of the set are on my web page about the E1.

These photos I could taken last year, when the previous owner, Mr. Ne hrig was still alive. He told me the whole story of this set: In 1980 he got a telefone call from Berlin, somebody unknown pointed him to the flea market at Berlin Nollendorfplatz. Here he got this E1 for aprr. 15,000 deutsch marks. He had built up a museum and would open it to the public. But there was much trouble with the authorities (taxes, fees and so on). So the exhibition was closed to the public, but single persons with interest are able to see it. When I heard about an existing E1 in my region here I contacted him at once and I got the permission to publish the photos in the web.
In 1985 the E1 was switched on the last time. Here is a copy of the photo with the E1 in operating mode:
