SABA Schauinsland T 2000 color

[old_tv_nut]

I think some of the old CONRAC professional monitors had separate sweep and high voltage supply, but I no longer have a schematic.

Was this set a top level model in europe in '67? Were there solid state sets in europe in '67?
That SABA is interesting. Would the original picture quality have been competive with the best in '67?

The first color tv sets had similar prices. Here are all 63 cm.-TV sets in '67:

PHILIPS GOYA (K6): DM 2433,-

GRUNDIG T 1000: DM 2398,-
TELEFUNKEN Palcolor 708 T: DM 2398,-
WEGA 901: DM 2398,-

NORDMENDE Spectra-color 7000: DM 2385,-

LOEWE-OPTA F 900: DM 2383,-

SIEMENS Bildmeister FF91: DM 2380,-

SABA Schauinsland T 2000 color: DM 2378,-

SCHAUB-LORENZ: DM 2370,-
GRAETZ Burggraf: DM 2370,-

BLAUPUNKT CTV 2005: DM 2365,-

KUBA IMPERIAL: DM 2348,-

NECKERMANN Koerting: DM 1990,-

Beside them, there were also 49 cm.- color tv sets and the KUBA Porta-color (DM 1798,-) in 1967.
The PHILIPS set had 27 tubes too and had a very good video unit with an excellent picture. SABA used so many tubes because many tv servicemen were not familiar with transistors. (This was written in the service manual.)

I think the best TV ever made in the late 60's was the Philips KM1 multistandard model PAL/SECAM. Extremely complicated but with a wonderful picture quality.
I still have a few sets in working order. They came in 49cm(not sure) 63cm 65cm and/or 66 for the latest ones.
They were full of tubes and transistors.
Philips produced lots of color TV's with tubes when the others already made fully transitorised sets because Philips produced too many tubes in the 70's and needed to get rid of them.

Yes, Philips is wellknown for a good picture quality. Last night I worked on the Saba. The flyback and high voltage units are working well now. The missing sync depends on cold soldering points in the sync signal separation unit. Now I have to fix the vertical linearity. My son likes the heating tower of this set very much. At lunch he will make fried eggs on it.
To Sandy G.: I didn't saw "Outer Limits". Is it a movie or a TV show?
