Hi

Does anybody recognize what model television this could be, all I know its a Korting (Gorenje), black n white and judging by the control's its from the 70s maybe ??

This is a late 70s TV, b/w, in this time Körting was overtaken by
Gorenje, ex Jugoslavia.
It is possible that it is made in Jugoslavia.
B/w TV sets of that time have no more face, low budget
what ever you touch!

Körting would be quite recognisable from the inside (maybe even from the type label), but as far as I know Gorenje also made their own sets.

If it was indeed built by Körting (Germany) I would date it a bit earlier (mid 1970's) than if it was built by Gorenje (mid 1970's to early 1980's).

If you decide to aquire the set it would be interesting to see pictures of the back, the type label and the chassis (including various code numbers such as part numbers on the pcb itself - if any).

What type of CRT has it got? Not a A50-120W/R I hope. I never had much luck with them, though that is no indicator they had an unusually short life-span.

It seems to be a 61cm tube.
Only a few countries like Spain had table sets with 49/50cm picture
tubes in the sixties in higher numbers.
In the seventies these smaller tubes were mostly dedicated to
portable TVs.
As far it is a Philips CRT it will last long!
