Did not expect to see a Zenith Healthview CRT TV in the waiting room today.
We have red. I repeat, we have red!

I brought home something that I didn't have room for, and probably shouldn't have. A Zenith colour all-tube 26" TV from the mid-1960s. Unfortunately the CRT is pretty weak, although its waking up as I use it.

Will need a bunch of work, but it's damn impressive it produces such a stable picture and sound given it appears to be completely untouched inside.

Model# 8322-6
Chassis# 25MC36

The Realistic SCT-7 was so hungry it appears to have eaten an entire cassette's worth of tape.
The CV-2200! 

Sony CVC-2100A camera from 1968, plugged into a Sony CVM-950 from 1969.

TV has just been fixed up with a tube-swap since this one had a dead CRT.

The camera will need a full re-cap, as it's full of those grey ones.

And then I can start working on my CV-2200 open reel video recorder from 1968!

The Columbia Tristar release for reference.

Found this oddity while getting rid of duplicate copies of movies I own.

Two copies of the Malofilm release of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The sleeves are completely identical, and yet one these is recorded in EP, while the other is recorded in SP. Same number and everything.

With all the problems, some things in the future (now) are pretty sweet. Like spending $2 CAD for a 3D model of a cam gear I can 3D print to get this reel-to-reel up and running
