Polaraman, here's your CM's B&W cousin!

Wow... I never thought I'd see another one of these Curtis Mathes sets with the top hutch! If you guys recall, Polaraman got one last year with a color set. Here's one with a B&W set.

The picture tube is well ventilated on that set!

[Charlie]

Ahhhh... i see. I thought that was a glare on the glass from the camera. Instead, it's a glare from the big hole in the back!

Yeah, slightly gassy..... I wonder if thats an easily obtainable tube?

I saw that set on Ebay. I did not post it because most of us do not like large console sets. If it were closer I would bid on it. Mine has great sound. I use the record player and radio more than the TV.

The movers had a really difficult time getting that set out of the house. I pulled the CRT to keep them from busting it. They struggled but they got it. I can't wait for the movers to deliver it here. hahahahah!

I have one of these b/w sets with top hutch, mine is the French Provincial style.

I got in into a room in my house by turning it on its end and scooting it along the rug. It was too long to turn in the hallway sitting on its bottom. The CM black and white sets are very good quality chassis, using a 90 degree large neck CRT. I still need to replace some caps to really get it to work better.

Did you guys get that beast fully restored yet? i'd love to hear how it turned out!

Curious minds and all that!

Thanks

No I haven't gotten around to doing any more with it yet! I think I probably have a lifetime's worth of TV repair projects but I will get to it eventually.
