Hi, I have been trying to find a picture of a tv my parents owned back in the 80s. It was a tv made my Philips and they bought it when moving from The Netherlands to the United States in 1984. Apparently it was suited for use in both countries as it was used for several more years after moving back to The Netherlands.
For the most part it was one of your typical bulky CRTs with a wooden (or at least it looked like wood) cabinets but funnily enough it is very hard to find an exact match among the many photos of old tvs online. The closest match is this one:
The front panel with the buttons is except for the colors pretty much as I remember, but the cabinet appears to have a metallic finish and the speaker looks different. The tv I am talking about had a single round speaker in the lower right corner. While it was bought in 1984, it could be a model that was designed in the late 70s.
Anyone recognize the model in this photo and know of similar tv sets?

Did you read it anyway? Well, you can find all sorts of stuff I made using various programming languages over here:
