Curtis Mathes, You Know Where

[peverett]

I cleaned out a TV shop in Athens. From this, I still have a few Curtis Mathis sets. A couple of Curtis Mathis roundies and a B&W set. The B&W set is in the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum at the moment. All have nice wood cases. The B&W set has been restored electronically. Even though the Sams dated it from 1965, it contained Japanese capacitors.

I did have one of the combo units(I think Glenn has posted a picture of one like it) that had a 21 inch B&W TV, reel to reel tape player, AM/FM stereo, and phono all in one unit. It weighed so much that it took 4 people to move it, so I gave it away. It had a blond finish, unusual for Curtis Mathis.

Here are 3 Curtis Mathes sets I have accumulated. All are NEC sets but still have great pictures, amazing on high use color sets that are greater than a quarter century old.
The older of the consoles did require a new flyback, and now it has lost all audio output :-( , maybe some day I'll get around to having a look see into it - too many other projects going on right now to have time to repair it.

These beautiful Ladies are popping up everywhere.
And yes she still works. I guess 1961 was a good year at Curtis Mathes.
