Recently I made a list of every set I got rid of since starting to collect them, but did not separate the makes. That's easy enough to fix, and it's easy enough to remember those from earlier years. The only post-70s set I have and intend to keep is the Electrohome.

Pre-collecting, all gone:

Admiral tubed B&W, year unknown
1989 Magnasonic 19"
Unknown make B&W briefcase set with necked CRT (trash pick)
Three unknown 19" or 20" sets rescued from repair shop trash, one fixed and sold, the others dumped when I couldn't find the problem easily.
B&W table set, probably early 50s vintage, given to me by superintendent at my grandmother's building. Set worked poorly and was quickly dumped.
19" or 20" set, make unknown, intended to replace broken down Magnasonic. This set was also defective.
2005 Sanyo 20" flat CRT set, curbed when I started with older sets.

Past:

1971 Admiral 25" console with K20 hybrid chassis (basketcase, junked, every part discarded)
1984 Candle (Hitachi/Tatung hybrid) 19"
1987 (?) Candle (Daewoo) 13"
1988 Magnavox "Perfect View" 9" portable
1989 GE (RCA) 20"
1976 Hitachi 25" console (reluctantly scrapped due to poor condition and lack of availability of service information, still have most chassis parts)
1986 Hitachi 26" console
1984 Panasonic 25" console
1989 Panasonic 26" console (received with massive scratch on CRT)
1977 RCA 12" B&W
1982 RCA ColorTrak 19"
1983 RCA ColorTrak 9"
Early-80s RCA XL-100 console with pull-on/volume knob and RAT keypad
1987 RCA XL-100 20" w/buttons above CRT
1986 Sears (GoldStar) 13"
1989 Sears (RCA) 26"
Late 80s/early 90s Sears (RCA) 26" console
1991 Sears (RCA) 26" remote console
1991 Sears (GoldStar) 13" with OSD and fine-click knob tuning
1970 Sony TV-950 (B&W portable)
1986 Sony Trinitron KV-1967
1987 Sony Trinitron KV-1926R
1983 Toshiba Blackstripe 13"
197? Zenith 12" B&W hybrid (Taiwan made)
1988 Zenith 25" console (Mexican chassis)

Present:

1973 Zenith Chromacolor 25" console w/Space Command 500, 25DC56
1976 Electrohome 25" console, C31
1977 Sony Trinitron KV-1921
1978 RCA XL-100 19", CTC88A
1979 Sylvania Superset 25" remote console w/single knob varactor tuning, E48-2
1987 Electrohome (Mitsubishi) 19"

Parts sets (current):

1985 "Concerto" 19"

I think I have enough good sets now to avoid taking in crappy sets out of desperation.
