There was a really clean 1980 (built Dec 79) Sears 19" set at the thrift this weekend, it was playing fine and only $15 but I just didn't have room for it so I left it.

It had the single knob tuning with the thumbwheels for each individual channel inside the door, it was similar to my 1980 GE I had way back when, don't know if GE built sets for Sears though, may have been a Toshiba or a Sanyo.

I took a really bad Cel Phone picture of it.

Oh my god, that is my childhood TV!!! I wish that TV was here!!

And yes, this is me, in the mid 80's.

i remember that set!i think it had that crt with the focus pin on top.they made a really sharp picture

They really were.. It was a very nice TV.

You have no idea how many memories it brought up, seeing another working set. I'd buy it in a heart beat, if it was here, and sell off the TV I use now.

And Apple stock was selling for $41 1/8th (see the display on the childhood TV set)! Now it's a little less than $600

Curious to know what VCR brand below was it that you blocked yourself in the photo?

Well shoot, if I had known you wanted it I would have picked it up and held it for you.
If it's still there Friday do you want me to grab it?

"And the stockings were hung by the TV with care..."

Sorry, couldn't resist :D

How would you get the tv to me? I foresee shipping damage all over it. Unless you plan to come by Florida some time soon

JVC. It has a neat double hinges door that opens up through the middle and locks when a tape is inserted. The front panel comes off and is the remote.

Forgot, Florida, never mind. :no:

Yea I figured lol. I need to setup my location.

At least another one runs.

Does it still work today, or it broke? Just checking these 1985 JVC VCRs reliability in general.

I don't have it anymore. It was thrown away before I knew how to fix it.
