VERY nice collection. It's nice to see that there are other guys out there that are as crazy as I am. Looks like you might have room for a few more. Too bad about that necked roundie combo. Hopefully you'll find a good donor tube for it. Definitely worth saving.

Thanks for sharing :thmbsp:

All you'd need are a few banners saying "Zenith" and "RCA" and such, and you'd have a vintage TV sales showroom. :D

Got one in a trade maybe a few months ago, just getting around to pulling the chassis now

The combo king's console cave, very nice. :thmbsp: Very tidy-looking too. I do have one question though, what's the BPC monitor doing there?

And one of those cool fiber-optic Zenith Chromacolor signs.

That place has a resemblance of order!
My place is like a war zone. I'll get it organized someday. :sigh:

It was like that until a week ago, i had many sorry project sets all taken apart and had a huge mess. It got to the point of looking at that side of the room made me sick. I cleaned up and remembered some good advice i got from kamikari: only take apart one set at a time or u will go crazy.

Broken computer monitor that needs to be thrown out.

Good call. Gotta remember that one for when I'm able to start working on mine.

This just in...no combos are left in the tri-state area.

Nice collection TC, you seem to have a definite theme, a heavy one.

The climate controlled "showroom" helps alot also.

I like the fact you are using Westinghouse tubes, you can be sure....

^ Haha, love it. :D

By the way, what's the first set in the video? I know that I have seen a similar set pictured here before, but can't recall what it was.

They must have came just before the XL-100 series. I had heard of the AccuColor feature, but never noticed a TV named as such. Hybrid set I'm guessing.

accucolor was an early solid state set.it had a flat chassis with a solid rectifier tube.decent but nowhere near as good as the xl100.
