Can anyone identify this CRT?

The picture is sideways but it was taken somewhere between 1993-1994. Anyone know the make/model of this TV?

Looks like Emerson?

Thanks for any help.

Nope, but here's a picture of likely the same model (that one is 25" according to the description on photobucket, the one on your pic could be bigger, or that hifi is rather compact...)

It couldn't as the screen has round corners and 25" (viewable) is the biggest size for that screen style.

true dat!

That's incredible you found a pic. Thanks so much. Yeah I think that stereo is kind of small.

So is this a TV of yours from back in the day?

Yeah, I recently found pics of my old room from circa 93-94, so this is the TV I played Genesis on (Mortal Kombat on the screen in the pic), SNES on (another pic from earlier features a blurry SNES box on the floor), as well as watched SNICK, TGIF, Beavis & Butt-head, etc on.

Thinking about possibly re-buying this same set if I ever run across it working and cheap. The pic found in this thread is a lot of help though, since my pic from the early 90's isn't too clear.

I know how it feels. It can be hard to find pics of your childhood tv. I had a GE floor model TV that swiveled from around 1983-84 and can't find any pictures of it online. It had a door on the right where the speaker was and could adjust the color settings using the analog knobs.

Kinda like this but older.

That's cool. I grew up playing SNES on a very tiny off-brand TV through RF....and it didn't have a remote, but instead the usual 2-13 dial. You've inspired me to go look at some old photo albums

Wow- real wood! Isn't that silly to think of. Reminds me of when I sold tvs and appliances- tv section was referred to by coworkers as "brown goods" and appliances were "white goods". This was company wide, I worked in a few stores. The funny part is-- this was less than 10 years ago, even when no electronics were brown any more, and almost all appliances purchased were stainless... lol. Old habits die hard, as they say.

Mine must have been common. Was easy to find. When you see that first tv--even in a little thumbnail--it's funny how it hits you instantly.

The buttons must have been heat sensitive. I remember I couldn't change the channel with cold hands.

I think we had the 1978 model. The '79 pics look almost identical. Atari and Colecovision memories.

I've tried looking on google images a few times in the recent past for my old portable from the mid nineties that I used to play SNES and Amiga games on but haven't found a picture of it yet. It was a Mitsubishi portable about 14" with a monitor swivel/tilt stand and was marketed as a TV/monitor IIRC although it could only manage 15khz. It had a RGB logo on the front bezel IIRC which was what made me buy it at the time as RGB on portables was a bit hit and miss back then or probably more miss than hit to be fair. Wish I could remember what the model number was.
