C-M Roundie and CC-II SC score!

[ha1156w]

Finally I got my hands on a true roundie! Found this Curtis-Mathes set at an estate sale literally 100 yards from my house. This place was truly a time capsule from the mid-50's, not a single thing touched since the house was built and originally decorated.

The house was built on an unusual sloped lot (well, for flat Texas it's unusual!). I didn't even know it had a basement that opened on the back yard! The upstairs was the lady's domain, and the downstairs had the original "Man Cave", a large den with a Gibson marshmallow fridge built into the wall for the beer, a bar with serving area, roman brick fireplace, "modern" clock built into the wall, and red/white/green square linoleum tiles with swirlies in the pattern. Even the lamps were dead-on mid-50s.

Back to the score -- A large C-M Console with a custom-fit glass top. Maple cabinet, and not a scratch on it! Electronics not so much, it had total vertical collapse and horrid convergence. Time for a recap I'm sure. This model look familiar to anyone?

Also got a mid-70's 17"(?) Zenith SE-1750 Chromacolor II with a 3-button Space Command. Has a neat almost-Avanti styling. All operation is perfect, but unlike my other tube-type SC400 set, this one doesn't seem to scan to the "next" active channel. Testing it just prior to the analog shutdown, it only steps one channel at a time. Normal or anomoly?
