15" CBS color set on eBay

[Pete Deksnis]

I drove up to see the set. The 15GP22 is under vacuum. The set was used by a CBS technical exec. Good, original documentation. It was in service to at least 1962. Clean chassis. No rust I could see.

How hard would it be to get running ,Pete?

Nothing seems to be missing. Probably just your typical 52-year-old vintage color challenge. The unknown lies ahead...

But this is a great set, with full bandwidth I/Q demodulation, and circuitry very similar the the better known production CBS model 205 set.

Guess as I have one already, I won't chase after this one. Godd luck, bidders!

I did. In fact, here's me with the set at Saddle River, NJ earlier today. I mean, why so many $$? It's missing its HV cage cover.

I would have drooled all over it!!! Glad I was not there.


See you at the Tv convention!!!
