I have no clue what year this was made, but it's got to be mid to late 1950's, perfect for my house.
I picked this up at a Thrift years ago for $20. It worked the last time I switched it on.
Just pulled it out of a back closet where I had her stored for several years.
All she needs is a TV lamp on top, some Bakelite rabbit ears (and an analog to digital converter box) and it'll be like watching Saturday morning entertainment all over again!

ReplyDeleteThat is GREAT!!!
ReplyDeleteSo far from LCD screens...I just discover your blog, I like it.
ReplyDeleteI think we had one like that! I remember my father and grandfather watching a Mets game on it.
ReplyDeleteWonder if they make a retro-looking Analog box? If not, shove it in an old bread box, paint it pink and put those rabbit ears on top! I had one a few years ago. I pulled the guts out and turned it into a bar.
ReplyDeleteHa ha Chicken, I want to gut an old stereo console so I can fit my modern stereo in it. Great idea!
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous, I see vintage TVs at estate sales all the time but don't have the room/didn't know how functional they would be (I need my cable).
ReplyDeleteHonestly thats just so cool :) I wish I could find something like it around even if I didnt use it...
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love that TV. I just wished I could have found it for £20
ReplyDeleteI have a Packard-Bell tv similar to yours that sits on short legs. It's in mint condition. Got it about five years ago from the estate of one of my childhood neighbors for $5.00. She lived to be 101 years old. Everyone who sees it loves it!
ReplyDeleteWow, very cool!
