Summary

This is a re-housed 1985 Panasonic CTG-1362R that was produced for Loy's (a department store in France) in 1987-88. A separate limited group was set aside for sale to consumers - it is speculated that 40 or fewer were allocated, as the highest serial number documented online is #37. The one used for this page is serial #12. A picture of the original Panasonic CTG-1362R can be seen at the bottom of this page.

The shell is a custom plastic transparent case that was created custom and hand-etched by the creator on the back right side near the neon lamp switch. The case is routed with two blue neon lamps which were custom-fitted by the creator and chained onto the AC power plug for the original Panasonic chassis.

Notes

This CRT is a non-isolated live chassis and RGB/S-Video/Composite mods should not be done to it.

You can disassemble the case by removing:

• All of the bolts on the center "spine"
• All of the screws along the bottom edge of the chassis
• 3 screws holding the adjustment board in place
• 2 screws holding the input panel in place
• 2 screws holding the neon lamp switch in place

The shell splits down the middle and can be lifted off.
