Bradford by any other name....

This is a really nice TV - good score!

Excellent looking set! That parts list on the label is unique also. Is that chassis screw lodged under the flyback plate to eliminate squeal?

That control cluster is about the most practical ever. I wonder who built that for Grant's stores. The bronze plated chassis is super sharp.
I used to curse my '68 Magnetbox T933 as I had to reach over the top to adjust the thumbwheel controls on the rear. I kept it as a daily only cause it was a remote control set

Your guess is as good as mine. But I'd assume that's probably the reason it's wedged in there.

Very, very nice...my kind of find!

What an excellant find! It's really nice.
Fortunately, there's lots of clone chassis's around so maybe somebody will have a high voltage door and its hinge pin for you.

I have clones of that chassis from three different brands, and all of them have the tube chart glued (and often disintegrating off) the HV cage door.

I've also noticed that the original tubes used by Philco and DuMont/Emerson (in the 60s) were mostly Japanese. But, oddly, NOS replacements from those brands are often American made.

Bradfords were mostly GE's and this one fills that description.

Looks like a RCA 15 clone to me.

Late to the show again...That's an amazingly clean set. It sure does have early 60's styling. Very nice indeed.

My folks bought alot of stuff at the W.T. Grant & Co. stores. I remember being forced to go try on (acck) new clothes in there. Misery.

Bradford console stereos sounded pretty good. I bought a copy of "The Ventures Golden Greats" after hearing it on a big Bradford there in the store.

Extraordinarily nice set! Excellent score. When do we get to see pictures of the set in operation?

Working on it. The set is presently being stored in my unheated garage and we've been hit with a pretty nasty cold spell. Hope to have some pix up for review within the next few days. Bob

Back looks RCA and the chassis looks similar to a 15 but I don't recall RCA making clones with a copper colored chassis. Other component inside look GE such as the convergence yoke and panel. Cabinet front is identical to GE. BTW, did anyone notice the cabinet back screw wedging up the flyback from the chassis? Must have had a intermittent HV problem.
