I'm a noob. 11/13. Have to admit I guessed a couple and got lucky.

Me, 10 out of 13. I did guess 1960 with the ad on the screen, you know 1975...

Got them all, thanks to a couple of lucky guesses on the later models and above warning about the "trick" question. :D

The last one is a trick question, but it has the answer in the by-line. 13/13 right :)

D'oh! I missed on both Philco 17ers and the Maggie LCD, the ones from '58-'61 always throw me :nono:

The 50's sets I knew pretty well, it was the LCD hand-helds and a few others that threw me. The big, gaudy console I thought was an early 70's, but it turned out to be a 68 model.

I wonder how sharp the picture was on the Sharp eight years later?
IIRC, all the Sharps were low-voltage focus CRT's, that didn't age that well. :scratch2:
