RCA 648PTK May be Coming My Way

[Down Under]

So THAT'S what a projection set looks like! I always thought that these were the sets where the CRT faced upwards and the image was viewed in a mirror lid.

What are they called then?

In Australia, we had the slightly curved CRTs when we first got television, then they quickly went to a more square shape.

The only projection sets were those horrible colour things from the 80's that looked awful.

You almost said it: Mirror in the Lid

Up topside here, those early projection sets had a CRT pointing towards the floor.
