Anyone familiar with this set? It's at an upcoming local estate sale......it looks like it cost quite a bit when new.....

That has a similar look to a System 3 20" monitor I have, 1987 vintage.

That's sharp! It feels like it should have an "Advanced System 3" emblem on the top right.

About Y line. Fold down door has membrane key pad on it
with normal pots for pix controls. Should have a jack pack,
stereo etc. I had the similar 20" set. IIRC uses 9-214 main
board. A very nice set. I dont remember selling any so
model wise quite rare......... I would grab it if cheap.

Man, that's sweet.

Snag that baby! Get some S.C. Johnson furniture wax action going. I agree with dishdude, looks like an Adv. System-3 dressed up in Sunday Best.

I think it would make a nice replacement for that RCA whose CRT got necked. Your CTC120 console is nice, but still...

You have an amazing memory!

What size picture would this be, and what year? Not sure if I'm in love with it yet.....but worth a look. The estate sale is at a house in one of the most expensive neighborhoods in the area.

Extrapolating from the ashtrays up top I'm going to say 85% chance its a 20" (19"?) with 15% that its a 24".

As for years, No earlier than 86, no later than 91.

I can't wait to see how wrong I am...

It's probably a 25" from '84-'86. I think they went to putting the lightening bolt logo on everything in '87.

I have to admit.. that looks very, very handsome and out of the ordinary.

radiotvnut · #12 02-23-2015, 09:15 PM

If they want much for it, my advice would be to see what kind of picture it makes before handing over any cash.

Yeah, my '88 console has the lightning bolt-style logo, and I've seen nearly identical sets with the block lettering.

I think it's a 25" set. It may have Bose audio in it too.
