Westinghouse found in the wild.

[etype2]

I can’t speak for this chassis, but Westinghouse was a powerhouse and RCA poached Zworykin from Westinghouse. Westinghouse manufactured the 15GP22 for their first color set which was under license from RCA and developed a 20 inch rectangular one gun color CRT. Thier first set was not a clone of the CT-100.

Westinghouse developed a “20 inch rectangular one gun color CRT” ??? do you have more information on this jug?

Here is one clipping. I found others but saved this one for my site.

I think so, or a variant. Has to be a variant. Similar construction, but it got s*** canned.

We have converter boxes that they sold by the millions here in the USA before the DTV transition here because many Americans still had perfectly good working Analog TV sets at the time so they had a $40 off coupon program for people in the USA so that we could buy converter boxes for our Analog TVs, you can still find plenty of those converter boxes at the thriftstores for $5, some of them are still in their original boxes yet, never used.

I am not sure there is any part of the world in which TV is still being broadcast as NTSC analog; however, I see your point. With flat-screen digital TVs being so plentiful and even cheap these days (until you get into huge TVs with very large screens and newer display technologies such as OLED, et al., many if not most of which are selling for $1000 or more), restoring older NTSC televisions is only a hobby, engaged in by many of us here on VK. Don't forget, the picture quality on a properly adjusted flat-screen HDTV can and will rival that seen on even the best NTSC TV, owing to the much better quality of ATSC DTV signals, and the sheer size of the screens. I have a 32" Insignia flat screen which makes a much better picture than any NTSC set I've ever owned or seen in my life; I would not go back to NTSC, even if I wanted to or could.

Man not even a cataract... that's a pretty nice find!

Are you sure?

He posted the same exact comment in the Radiorama YouTube channel today which featured a video of the restoration of a 1955 Zenith "Bugeye" TV.

Also what part of that comment did you think sounded like a joke? To be honest, I'm a closet comedian and I didn't find anything funny about his comment, I didn't even laugh at it.

See screenshot below.

So THAT’S where they got the idea for the AP1000 containment from !

Jokes aside, I can't remember the last time I actually found something I wanted to watch on OTA broadcast.

I ended up with 7 analog channels I pipe throughout my house over the coax (combined with the attic antenna). Most of the channels are just raspberry pi's shuffling through TV shows I like to watch. It's also nice to use the original tuners and on the TVs and "channel surf" like the old days.

The latest addition has been some some 1960s content like Get Smart, Addams Family and Rocky & Bullwinkle.

Very clever I just have one BT modulator on channel 9 that's tied to my A/V system. With the Roku and my FTA satellite setup I get most of what I want to watch.

I have one, a 19" Westy color! This set predates the Apollo 1 cage by 3 years.
I agree that HV cage is just like a '64 Magnavox U450, which is an RCA clone design-wise.
