The shape of the safety glass reminds me of the Sony Trinitron!

Anyone know what year this is from???

Tvman39,
I believe its a 1951 set. Emerson made a similar set in a 17 and a 21 inch version but the control's were recessed in the side but had the same bowed front glass. Its a neat alternative from the otherwise bland styling they had in most of the early 50's type sets.

I've got one of those Emersons and the resemblance is uncanny. There is something odd about the face of these picture tubes, I think.

Bryan,
I have the 17 inch version of your Emerson. I dont know the model number of it as the lable for it is long gone. All of the imformation i find is for your model and not the 17 inch version. Yes, they do have an unusual look to the picture tube face and i know a regular 17 inch picture tube doesnt fit flush into mine. The face of the tube must have more of a curve to it than ones found in similar sets. Mine plays well after i fixed a bad vertical rolling problem it had. When i first saw the picture of the SC i thought it was an Emerson until i saw the controls on the bottom. Maybe they share the same designer.

I have some Conrac b/w tube type monitors with what appears to be a flat rectangular screen...it is not spherical like a typical crt face. Perhaps the screen is actually slightly cylindrical rather than totally flat.

I think I can shed some light on this thread. I have a console version of this set. I would love to have This set but the set is too far away. The CRT is a 21KP4/21FP4. It is sams 224-14 and dates from 1953.
