  • Notes
  • RCA The Two Thousand, 2000, (unproven chassis number: Ch= CTC-47);
    23" special designed NTSC color TV with US standard VHF-/UHF tuner,
    name plate on front labeled: Limited Edition, Crafted Expressly for xy (encraved buyer's name), RCA "invites" 2.000 customers to buy a RCA 2000 TV for each US$ 2.000,-, hand held remote control, "computer memory" VHF preset tuner, motor driven UHF tuner.
    See more details taken from an RCA advert at the Albuquerque Journal 1969:
    In one giant step RCA harnessed the speed and accuracy of the computer to help unveil a new century in color television. It's a limited edition (2,000 sets) with unlimited advancement.
    First and most obvious, is its 21st century design, its sculptured whiteness curves to a rosewood veneer top. The black translucent doors slide back and disappear into the set, revealing the 23-inch diagonal screen.
    And what a picture you'll see on that screen.
    It's the new RCA Hi-Lite 70 tube - computer designed and engineered for 100% more brightness than any previous big screen RCA color tube. The Hi-Lite 70 tube gives such a vivid, detailed picture, you can even watch it in a brightly-lit room.
    The remote controls of color, tint and volume are computer-designed too. They operate electronically so there are no motors, no noise, and no moving parts to wear out or break down.
    Inside The Two Thousand, though, is the biggest news.
    RCA eliminated the conventional VHF tuner. In its place are new computer-like "memory" circuits - electronic circuits with memories like tiny computers.
    When you press the remote control button, the circuits automatically remember which channels you have programmed. So there's no wandering through empty channels for the station you want. You simply go silently and instantly from one live station to the next.
    Press the UHF lever and the signal seeking circuitry takes over. A silent motor sweeps up and down the UHF band, seeking an active channel. When it finds one it stops. There's never any need to fine-tune the pictures. It's done for you electronically.
    The Two Thousand represents the pinnacle of achievement in Color TV engineering and performance. Open its doors and embark on a totally new viewing adventure.
