Found this piece of history! Round TV anyone?
When I was a kid we had a 26" Packard Bell black and white tv. I sat right up close watching my Saturday morning cartoons. It was also my very first introduction to tubes. It lost horizontal control and my parents were slow to fix it since they both worked. So I called the repair man myself at age 8 or 9 and explained to him what it was doing and he told me it was the horizontal tube. I convinced my mother that was the problem and she came home with a new one.Every time I see an old set like this one I can't help thinking about the old ''Radiation King'' set on the Simpsons episode
I had two mirror sets, one an RCA TRK-12, the other I think that set, Stewart Warner? Unusual horizontal output ckt that used a quartet of 35 volt heater table radio output tubes, iirc.
That was a concern mainly with projection and color sets operating at ca 25kv. Steel shielding and leaded glass tubes managed it well enough.Every time I see an old set like this one I can't help thinking about the old ''Radiation King'' set on the Simpsons episode
