Latest Find. Kriesler Hi-Fi Console TV

[AndrewM]

This TV is an Australian set manufactured in late 1965 or 1966. They were Krieslers top of the range set and could be considered state of the art for the period.

The TV comes with a cabled remote for volume / channel selection etc and the tuner is motor operated.
The chassis fitted to this set is known as the "SuperF" chassis for fringe reception as well as town use. It features selectable (internal) adjacent channel traps, 3 vision IF stages, separate vision and sound detectors, noise reduction circuits and CRT brightness regulation.

Other features of this set are the clock which can be set to turn the set on and off by itself and switchable 4 speaker Hi-Fi sound.

The set is currently non operational as the person I acquired it off attempted to power it up after saving it from a deceased estate. The result is one vertical stage filter electrolytic that blew out. The resulting electrolyte spray is just visable below the CRT neck. Repairs etc will occur later in the year as I have other TV's that need doing first.

The TV also came with a matching radio/gram featuring the same speaker system and approx 8 watts per channel (stereo). It has survived the shock test treatment and is said to work well. I will confirm the chassis condition for myself before trying power on it again though.
