Kuba Comet on the 'Bay

[Eric H]

Looks pretty clean and appears to have it's original TV.

Something about that first photo made me think of this. While I don't care for the design, I think it would look neat in a converted attic with knee walls. It would sort of nestle right in.

yeah. Saw it. Pretty clean, but, not my cup 'o tea.

I think it looks awesome. Way cool.

Every time I see a Kuba Komet, I faintly hear the theme song from the Jetsons playing somewhere in the recesses of my mind.

Meet George Jetson.
His Boy Elroy.
Daughter Judy.
Jane his wife.

Still think they shoulda put a color roundie in 'em...At least for the ones for N. America...THAT woulda been something...Color TV was still pretty much "Out there" when these things were made,& that fact, coupled w/the "Out there" styling these guys had, they MIGHT have had a hit on their hands w/well-heeled "Avant-Guard" types...

I want it. I love oddball stuff.

Too weird for me. It belongs in one of those strange flat-roof, all-glass houses with chrome kitchen cabinets, purple glitter ceilings and bamboo wood doors in the Hollywood Hills. And it can please stay there, where I don't have to see it. But as a TV collector, I admit it's rare.

There is a house in a little town called Church Hill near here that NEEDS this thaing...Mostly glass & brick, & the "walls" are wider at the top than at the bottom...the roof is "backwards"-it slopes inward towards the middle, & the eaves are higher than the center..The whole thing screams "Googie !", & also needs a late '50s finmobile-Prolly one of Virgil Exner's heroic Imperials-sittin' in front of it...Strangely enuff, the place is quite attractive...

Speaking of Virgil Exner, I own a body-off-frame restored 1958 Plymouth Fury. It looks like it rolled off Plymouth's old Detroit Assembly Line.

Nice. I like Chryslers from the "forward look" era. 361? Got any pics?

And I like the Komet, I was just thinking they should have made a remote controlled model.

[TV-collector]

There was a cable remote, but only for the TV available.

I don't think it's too weird, however, I know it's way too freakin big!! It would be neat to have... if you had a really big room to put it it.

You can see one in the flesh at the ETF museum. They really do need a big space to display properly. I saw photos of one crammed into a little apartment, and it looked absurd.

It's a monster, for sure.....
