i m thinking ctc15 or zenith chromacolor II 23 inch metal cabinet

Not that I care about sports, but I would say 19" Quasar Satellite Control. Not sure what years those were made, 1976 was definitely one of them. I have the remote but not the set naturally.

RCA CTC-97 will come out of hiding. It survived the floods last October in the attic. it's a 19" color from 1980. Had to do a fair amount of work to the chassis, including replacing the delay line, some electrolytics in the horiz and power supply, and resoldering the motherboard extensively.
Still have the original ultrasonic remote.
This tv and an early 80s G.E. have been some of the biggest dogs to keep working, but both have a really strong tube and a great picture.

The answer is simple: whichever one can reproduce an all-white picture best,
perhaps with some dim whisper of motion on the picture.

... not really vintage @ 2002 date of manufacture, a Sharp 36" crt set, which I have perched atop a heavily padded 82 RCA XL100 console ... amazingly good picture on this 200lb beast
... I'll have both sets running on the satellite ... saves having to activate the PIP if I get bored with the game ... I couldn't care less who will win, but like lots of folks I enjoy some of the commercial breaks ...

Probably on my, ahem,"vintage" 2008 S0NY fluorescent tube LCD set with over 30,000 hours on the clock.. :yes:

Going to a party elsewhere, but will catch some of it on the good 'ol CTC-4. :yes:

Either of two sets on my bench in the warm basement, on whichever gets its electro-caps replaced first.
1968 Westinghouse Color chassis V2655- long-duration project with a strong GE 19EYP22
1970 Zenith 16" Color chassis 12A10C15 - Recent arrival from member-celebrity Bryan Gadow

:lmao:

Who's playing this year-is it the Mighty Ducks vs. the Expos? I get them confused. Maybe, just maybe, I'll warm up the CTC-5 long enough to take a photo.

Keep up the good work, Ron-you're earning every bit of that commission I'm giving you :)

Well, I did turn on the CTC-5 (first time in several months), and the dynamic convergence (maybe only red horizontal - hard to tell) is completely gone. Don't want to spend the time chasing it tonight, so this set will be sidelined. Plus, the grayscale tracking has drifted towards purple, and it seems like the sound alignment has gotten buzzy.

Get yourself a CTC-5 Super and you may never have to worry about what to do with your free time!

i agree

Lessee.. Who's playin' this year..... Dallas & Washington, right ?!? Seriously, I MIGHT go in & flip on my Porthole for a minute or 2 to say I've done my duty as a Red-Blooded Amurrican... Other than that, Big effin' Woop.. I DO like Peyton, watched him since he was at the U of T... The rest of it... Meh...

Seattle better not run up the score too high or Denver might sue 'em for bullying.

That was one of the most boring Super Bowl games ever, so those who didn't watch didn't miss much. I thought even the commercials were boring.

I didn't watch it on a vintage tv, but I did catch myself flipping to an old episode of Route 66 a couple of times.

The Broncos have been beaten worse in a Superb Owl in the past. #24, specifically.

Yea this game was terrible. I took these pics throughout the game.

Yeah, that was pretty much a blowout...

It looks a lot better in person... http://videokarma.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=181640&stc=1&d=1391406764

Anyway, a shot of my homebrew HDTV setup in an old RCA CTC19 cabinet (the CTC19 chassis long gone), using a large CRT computer monitor in 1080i mode, and hidden inside a Samsung ATSC receiver.
