another addition: sylvania roundie console

ads gone now, picked this up in queens right by JFK. She had it up for a few weeks, ads gone now, but she had pictures with the doors closed, kind of shot herself in the foot on that one.

And thanks to the worlds toughest negotiator, sampson159, set came home for $75. She works, got a nice raster and audio, will check more and get more pics when it's off the truck.












oh yeah, any idea on the year or any other info?

Ron, u should be on the priceline commercials, $300 down to $75. wow!

The house was a freak scene. I kidnapped my nephew for the ride, as soon as we got there, several skinny somali/sudanese possible drug addicts descended on us. She asked them to help, but these guys looked like they couldn't lift 20 lbs. Glad i had my nephew.

It think she may run a a half way house for recovering drug addicts. She said she has other stuff, i told her just tv's.

You defiantly picked up something that I will never see local, and the fact that it puts out a picture with audio without any restoration is something I've never come across..

The only reason i got to this set, is like i said, she had the doors closed in the photo, high price, bad description.

I told u in regards to that GE console in long island, even up here, roundies are a tough nut.

On yours you should change to the high volt primary tap on the Power trans and check the eff coil for min current.

1964-1964, 580 chassis most likely. I have the same set

They're basically a CTC-15 clone. Have fun!

color is whacked, color adjustment knob does nothing. Have seen this before, where the set didn't like an certain rf converter. Will play and report back.


Individual guns show movement, so at least i got something to work with.
