Interesting set. What would this set have cost in Russia in 1973?

I've always liked the "odd" look of sets where the picture tube is mounted through the front of the cabinet. Near programming for the demo :D

Thanks for posting - this is great.

I think in Italy is the only one of that model.
I'm very happy to own it.
Thanks everyone for the compliments

That tv is epic! Tubes everywhere, layered sticking in all directions. You can defiantly tell its a tv from another world. Too cool

Wow, and they used to tell us in the USA that TV sets in communist Russia only came with red phospers. Not RGB, just R. :D

"Better dead than red!" :D

Take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCarthyism to see where this silliness came from... Though various coworkers from Russia and China have said that communism did suck.

Enough of the political history sidebar.

excellent! Thanks for sharing that set. Nice to see more euro sets - especially in operation with programming to match!
