Just trying to start some friendly discussion here.

So what is your most used B&W set in your collection?

This one, and it's still working fine with no repairs after at least 75 hours of playing time on it. The yoke is a little crooked though.

Is that one of the sets where the screen folds down into the case?

Most played B&W TV - my 1948 Philco 48-2500 projection TV:

Funny thing that you should start this topic today. The set I use the most other than during winter is my 9TW333

...which is the actual 'TV on the porch'. I had occasion to show it off today and the weather was so nice I decided to leave it on and enjoy it for a while.

My other restored sets are used on a rotating basis, with the Admiral console probably getting the most use. Both because it's a relatively recent restoration and because the picture could not be sharper.

I love them all to death, and each one gets a turn from time to time, but most recently used this winter has been the DuMont RA-113, mainly because of where it's situated.

You leave that TV outside !! Doesn't it get bugs, mice and stuff inside it? and I thought that it was bad for CRT's to be exposed to extremes of temperatures??

I don't do a lot of TV watching, but this one gets fired up most often.

Is that one of the sets where the screen folds down into the case?

Yes it is. I really should recap at least part of it but it works so good, cool cans, everything.

I love using my '40's sets, but my "worker" is my 10" 1957 Admiral. It plays absolutely as new. There's nothing like watching a classic TV show or movie on these vintage sets!

Drop-dead gorgeous, Phil! Ingrid's cute, too.

I have to include the jewel of my collection, my '46 RCA 621TS. I use it a little more sparingly than some of others, but watching that small screen in that art-deco cabinet is always a treat!

yes it it is i have one too.

my most used it a 1959 zenith with the 16e21 chaissis,
built like a tank.

I rotate mine too, but overall I'd say this Admiral 24A12 sees the most use.

I've been following these threads closely.
Did the dual phasing diode correct the problem with the horizontal hold? :scratch2:

Beautiful Admiral Bob! I had my chance to get one and passed years ago:tears: It's one of the coolest looking vintage TV's of all time - and you just can't beat an Admiral!

Lately my most used b/w set is this 1966 Zenith 19".

Mine is a little G.E. portable from about 1960-61. The original owner used it on his workbench in the garage till he passed away, and I got it from the estate sale (which I worked at) for $20. It works like new.

Mine is the 16" Zenith portable shown in my avatar. It's a "Discoverer", model L1615L from 1963.

I rotate mine too, but overall I'd say this Admiral 24A12 sees the most use.

My favorite is an Admiral 19A12 electrostatic set I restored. It always gets
looks of disbelief when I turn it on and a picture appears within a minute, fully locked, stable and in focus!

This Philco, for about 3 or 4 years I guess, great performer and I have it in our living room. I also use the phono and listen to the AM radio. Oh, and that isnt really a pic of my Philco lol.
