OK, Rob, per your request, here is a snap shot of my New Old Stock '64 Packard Bell color set. As you can see, even in this bad shot, the thing is still pristine new and in fact has never been turned on (Variac time!)
It's model #21CT9-Walnut, basically the same as a 21CT7 (service manual BC-0125 schematic). The color tube is an RCA 21" circular shadow mask kinescope #21FBP22-A, with the separate glass faceplate.
This set was manufactured and assembled at the old Packard Bell factory which was at 12333 West Olympic Blvd. here in Los Angeles. Ah, the good old days....
Neat little showroom stickers still on the screen as you can see . Of course the owners manual and other goodies are still in a sealed bag stapled to the back of the set. :^)
Packard Bell didn't make the greatest color TV's in the world, but this is a neat little artifact from the good old days.
