Remote roundies are probably my favorite sets, to me they just seem to strike the right balance between advanced modern technology and good old fashioned quality. Now that I seem to be finding these, I'm curious how many and what models are still around. What do you all have?
My 2: 1960 RCA CTC-10 "Wynnewood", 1964 Zenith 25MC33 SC400 chinese cabinet

Nice sets! My only remote roundie is my Space Command 400 Zenith with the 25LC20QS chassis. It is my avatar. I hope to be finding more soon. There is a possibility a CTC 10 Glendale may come my way in the future, IF all goes well. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Good thing for your sets that drool doesn't transmit over the internet - very, very nice sets!

I'm jealous. That zenith set is simply gorgeous. You'll never find one of those in that condition in a good long while.

You seem to find all the cool stuff!

Now I'm jealous! I want to see it. I have never seen a 29JC20 Zenith in person before. I saw the brochure once, but never the set. I forget the model name too. Way cool!

I've got a '7 with remote. The novelty wears off after you realize it won't work the cable box ;)

But it's neat with an antenna.

I guess I've never seen, in person, a remote roundie. I'm always on the lookout, though! rcaman's set is very impressive to me.

I lurk in these threads a lot because I am interested in old TVs, but do not collect them. I live in a smallish apartment with a wife who is understanding, but not THAT understanding, so am limited to a couple of little portables and my nice 80's Zenith woodgrain set that I use with my Atari systems.

Delurking just to say that these sets are absolutely beautiful and I am so glad people are out there saving them. You guys do great work.
