Hey, those are great!

Thanks, I love those. Especially the 1947 GE. Does it have a phonograph too?

 

[sudsmaster]

Where are the periwinkles?

 

[douglasdc6]

1947 G-E

Yes , It has a phonograph

Suds:

Hyacinth's "Royal Doulton with the hand-painted periwinkles" is one of the show's snobbiest, most subtle jokes.

The china used on the show is called "Braganza," and properly speaking, it's not actually Royal Doulton at all - it's from Colclough China, a subsidiary of Royal Doulton. Also, as such things go, it's not a particularly expensive pattern, so Hyacinth's veneration of her china is based on a little exaggeration, which of course is how she is about most things.

Here's a photo of Colclough's "Braganza."

More Braganza:

The cup and saucer - so perfect for tossing back-and-forth with fumble-fingered Elizabeth:

That's pretty

I have a set of Mikasa Oakmont, from the late '50s.

That's a cool GE,78 rpm I guess.

Next one of these I find, I'm getting.

 

[douglasdc6]

this is getting good

We had a magnavox console close to what is above - I`ll always remember after turning the set off watching that little dot that would remain on the screen for about a minute - My parents loved magnavox.

I think ours was a 1960 or 61 model do you by chance have a few more ads on the 1960 & 61 models like the above ?

I have seen a few of these on ebay over the years mostly in california.

If I see the one we had I`ll snatch it up quick.

Thanks for posting.

Hi Douglas

Magnavox is my madness, ever since seeing my aunt's console in summer of 1969. I swiped these images off TV History, some off a photo site, so I don't claim ownership. I just want to spread the goodness.

 

[112561]

I don't have any 1961 images

Here's a '63 or so brochure shot, from someone's photobucket.

My Aunt Harriet in Pennsylvania had a similar set, in a slightly larger cabinet. I'd love to know if my cousin Carol got that and knew it was something special. Love that video you posted, I'm sure that model and a lot of other British sets appear in TV History, where I find my Magnavox pics. It's a great site.
Update! The Royal Television is currently bid at 50 pounds, with about 7 days remaining.

Douglasdc6, I found the 1961 Magnavox

Or one of them. Here it is.

 

[douglasdc6]

112561 Getting close but still not the one.

I appreciate the time taken for youre posting these .

From the looks of these pictures magnavox obviously was the cadillac of home intertainment back in there day .

My parents gave away our set in 1980 to my step sister 100 miles away - shortly after that - I became interested in it & wanted the set She said we donated it to the salvation army.

I missed it by 6 month`s.

 

[112561]

What a rip off!! Shame on your step sis!!

My friend (!!) Fred's parents had a model like the one in this picture(upper left). He broke the turntable when he spun the platter at 3000 some rpm, and turned it on. Father had it fixed. The damage occured sometime before 1970.

 

[douglasdc6]

Hard to tell but that console in the center toward the top above youre marker might be the one or pretty darn close.

The left & right side of the screen was mostly speaker area with some scrawl work the same as what they have runing along the bottom of the consoles.

Like I said that center console looks pretty close just hard to tell

 

[112561]

All of these images are ripped off from Photobucket and eBay

Unless I come across specific 1960 or 61 brochures, these are as close as I can get at the moment. I had a Chinese one with a color set. Wish I'd kept it.
This particular image is just a variation of the theme.

[douglasdc6]

Again I really appreciate youre posts.

What I`ll always remember about our magnavox was the fact it didn`t have UHF whitch meant I had to miss all the cartoon Channels

I`ll always remember the tv shows though such as 1 adam 12, The waltons & my favorite was dark shadows although my mom wasn`t to crazy about me watching that one she later told the baby sitter not to let me watch dark shadows

Those were the days !!!!!!!!!!!!!
