My wife never misses an opportunity to remind me that she must be one of the most tolerant people in the world!
How many sets do I have? I dunno, I can only count up to 20 (21 if I'm taking a bath!) --Dave |

How many sets? I have no idea. I lost track 6 years ago. I think it's in excess of 200 - 300 or so give or take a few dozen now. My wife claims (she's rarely wrong about most common sense things) that I'll probably never spend time with all of them. I remind her that collecting TV's is not common sense for most people and while I may never be able to spent time with all of them - I'll be thinking about all of them. Of course, I let her win the argument then give her some money to buy something for herself. This usually works and leaves me to practice my eccentric art. Some of the more memorable sets include an RCA CT-100, CTC-4, CTC-9, CTC-11, CTC-12 color sets, including an early RCA roundie stereo console. Early B&W projection sets, and several Dumonts (including one that uses a CBS color wheel adaptor). I'm also fascinated by my early Japanese colors including a vintage Toshiba with the strange CRT (21FB gun on a japanese glass bottle). I have an Indextron and (just tonight) acquired the infamous KV-3000R. I wish I could get a Chromatron for my collection - now that would be cool...!
Then, of course, did I forget to mention, there's the antique audio and radio collections...mostly RCA, Zenith, Philco, Silvertone, Scott Radio, Marantz, and Grundig. Then there's the communications receivers and transmitters (both civilian and military) with Collins, Hallicrafters, Hammarlund, Scott, Heathkit, Yaesu, Drake, etc. Ha...even my daily ride is almost on the endangered list...just a couple of years to go before my caddidily hopper gets historic vehicle plates!

Tom, your truck might qualify for HV plates in a couple years, but my truck qualifies for the DRIVE ALONE IN CARPOOL sticker in June
And doesn't your truck still run on that crap they call "gasoline" that so many suckers still think they have to use??? Main thing of this post: Congratulations on the KV-3000!!!!! I am VERY pleased that you got it, as I know it will be preserved in good hands.. (I sent you an eMail on this)... Charles |

How many? I don't know for sure, but probably 200+. Many Predictas-est. 50. Dozens of early b/w. Early color, including the CBS 1954 205 set, many RCA and Zenith early color. One odd set is the Sony "Elvis" set whereby one cabinet houses 3 B/W solid-state 12" sets. I'm started a type of inventory whereby I place the Sam's (or other service info) into a 3 ring notebook binder. Besides helping keep track of what I have, the service information for each set is ready at hand. Just had a 60' X 30' metal bldg. built just for the TV and radio collection-storage, workbench, and display. The bldg. features a floored loft-with an electro-mechanical hoist-for additional storage space.

I have only one other TV here besides my daily watcher RCA CTC185. The other set is a ten-year-old Zenith SMS1917SG Sentry 2 19" in my bedroom, which will replace the RCA if anything happens to the latter. The Zenith works amazingly well for having ten years on it; original CRT and a great picture on cable here in my small town. In fact, I think my Zenith set has a better picture than the RCA. I've been tempted more than once to put the Zenith in the living room and use the CTC185 RCA as the standby set, but the RCA has such a good picture in its own right I can't bring myself to do it just yet. I think I'll wait until the RCA dies before I do that. However, the RCA has worked like a champ the last six years and continues to do so, so I may be waiting a little while yet before putting the Sentry 2 into daily watcher service again (that set was my daily watcher for four years in the mid-'90s--1995 to 1999; it worked well then and still does to this day--that's Zenith quality for you).
BTW, to Truetone36, I know the feeling of having to leave old TVs behind when moving. In the late '60s to 1972 I had a nice collection of old sets in the basement of my former home, then I moved (the first time) and had to get rid of all but three of them. Six years ago I moved again, within the same area (from a suburb of Cleveland to a village about ten miles outside the metropolitan area), this time to a small apartment (where I live now). No room for old TVs here, but I do have a small collection of vintage tube and transistor radios. When I see an old TV set on the curb here I am tempted to grab it (if it's a portable--I saw a 1980s-vintage RCA 12" b&w portable not far from my apartment about three years ago), but then I remember the fact that there's just no room here for any more large sets. I like Zenith TVs and radios (I like the quality of the older ones, but cannot abide the Zenith-branded LGs), so maybe if I can find a small set of that make, say a 5" Zenith portable with AM/FM radio (on ebay, for instance), I might bid on it. I saw one of these on the bay last year and wish I'd have latched on to it, but there will be others, I'm sure.
