It's not an astrosonic, but I understand what you are saying. 1963 Model CTC-15 clone, The TV is up and running now. All new (NOS) Sprague can electrolytics. Mostly all NOS tubes. Excellent CRT(just replaced the original CRT, dead to air). Did all the usual adjustments. Thanks to DavGoodlin for finding out what the Sams folders were. I have a local source for those. All that is left is an FM alignment. I'll save that for another day.

Wow! What a great picture on that set. I have a Magnavox combo from 1964(it is in some other posts on here) and since it was set up, it too has a great picture. I also have a 1967 Zenith roundie that plays well too, but the color on the Magnavox seems to be more natural.

This one is going into my living room right below my LCD after I hang it on the wall. I like the way the maggie color logo lights up in the corner of the CRT bezel. The TV audio through the amp sounds great. I always seem to find that the color on RCA and their clones is just a tad better than most. Just my preference but I would not turn down any brand.

Very good picture on your Maggie console. Just goes to show how good these older TVs were and still can be, if restored properly as yours was.
Is that a modern LCD flat screen on top of the set?  If so, it's huge -- I'd say perhaps 30-40 inches if not more. Are you planning to put the Maggie in the same room with the LCD set, or is the latter to be installed in another room? If you did that (put both sets in your living room), it would be a good way to get two channels at the same time -- one program on the Maggie and the other on the giant flat screen.

It's a 52" Sony. I just mounted it on the wall tonight. It wasn't sitting on the maggie, it was on a stand behind the set. It would crush the sliders. The Sony is about 150 pounds. I like the Maggie below the lcd that way I can use the dish or netflix. I like to listen to records occasionally. Thanks for the compliment on the Maggie's picture.
