Obviously not in WORKING condition for that price...

That model Curtis Mathes combo on ebay is in my Curtis Mathes brochure 1962: http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/sho...68&postcount=7
It's the middle picture on the bottom, "The Fountainbleau".

Interesting older b/w set on craigslist, not sure what it is but I like the cabinet: http://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/clt/411593925.html

That C/M is "color convertible"? Does that mean they could substitute a color chassis for the monochrome?

It sure looks like a Sentinel to me, and if so, woe unto anybody who takes pity on it: if those holes have no shafts protruding it's because there's a chassis missing.

[Adam]

There's a picture of the back showing the chassis, the chassis does look similar to that Sentinel, but if it's the same model it does appear to be missing that 2nd chassis that's mounted upsidedown.

Pair of Motorolas:

That suitcase one might be the only one I've seen yet with all the knobs, the back, and the antenna.

[Eric H]

Cabinet needs work but it could be nice.

I saw that one. Looks as though the CRT might be full of air? or is that rubber gasket goo?

[Eric H]

It's rubber goo, I had a Crosley with the same problem.

What is with the controls at the top marked "Register"?

[jpdylon]

strange. Thought they were remote sensors like the flashmatic at first.

Didn't even notice that.

[David Roper]

It's goo.

Eric:

The left upper control is the Tone Register which is just a tone control. The other one is a Screen Register which is basically what Zenith used on later sets called a Picture control which is a sharpness adjustment. I believe that these designations were just used on the '54 models.
