It will fit in your Cadillac, but you have to drive 2-times.
In the center is a rod, you have to loose the bracket and the wiring (plugs)

And I like the Komet, I was just thinking they should have made a remote controlled model.

There was a cable remote, but only for the TV available.

Hi,
Sam, it`s an envy discussion.  I thought, that this is a german problem, like greens and some europeans talk down 50s US cars, just because they don`t have the money to buy and drive them.  Here it is the same. What you find here are high quality elements of early HiFi, tape recorder and record player made by Telefunken, radio with FM Stereo and PP out- put and some ~11" speakers. It has no disappear button, but a "!proud to be the owner" button, which can`t be switched-off! My Comet (1959 top model - TV motorized channel turret tuner) was a re-import from the states. I had to buy it, because my father saw once one laying in the street trash, but thought, that it is selfmade art.

Yeah-I've thought, that while we kinda "snort" at the Komet's looks, the construction & finish of it was typically German of the period-Which is to say, second to none. Would I like to HAVE a Komet ? Hell, yes !! It would be an almost impossible decision to choose between a Komet, a CT-100 or a TRK-12, if I ever had to pick which one of the 3 I could have. Having said that, would I still make cheap jokes about the Komet ? Of course, because "Cracking Wise" is what I DO.

Hey Sandy G.
You will realize that you need them all! Start saving, they all are collectable, the Kuba Comet is the rarest and there is never made something like this again. A pre-war TV is a must for a TV collector!  Yes, and a 50s color TV with a round tube is the only thing I don´t have in my collection! But time goes by......

Oh, yeah, Me Want 'Em ALL...But I have "Champaigne tastes on a Beer Budget..." I guess I'd add a Dumont Royal Sovereign to that list...That's another "Beau Geste" set, basically CAN'T be repaired, because the CRT has a design flaw, IIRC.
