bought possibly the only tube color Capeheart in private hands

Interesting how the serial number is 752548. Seems kind of arbitrary considering probably only a handful of these were built.

Back about 1968 me & my brother stopped at a barn sale in
Stow, Mass. They had a Capehart - Farnswourth roundy color
& we got it for $10. My bro did get a color pix on it but not
very stable. The owner said it was one of the first color
sets in the area.
Later we traded it to the local slum lord for a 1961 Olds Fiesta
station wagon. I needed to learn to drive so it went to a friends
apple orchard. Was the fastest car we had, a 394 cid 4bbl. I had
more fun with that car than any old TV !

Zounds! Talk about a rare one. I look forward to seeing more photos, and hearing about the restoration.

From the ETF: We acquired this rare 19 inch Capehart model CXC 12 color prototype from Steve Dichter. This is the only surviving example. It uses the CBS 19VP22 round tube, and was made in 1954.
