Anyone else notice the pin correction is gone?

Collectable?

Round screen?!?

Must be one of those quantum mechanics definitions of round that doesn't make sense in the real world

Don't knock the guy fer Chrissakes! (I have one of these and if they're worth money you'll see mine up next week :lmao:)

I was just too stupid to realize I have a roundie in the bedroom until I looked at it sideways.

what the hell? How can people be SO STUPID? It is taking every last ounce of willpower NOT to send him an email....

I was going to say that maybe he thought it was "round" because the CRT had rounded corners...actually it does not! The crt bezel does though...(very slightly)!

The black plastic on the sides is kinda round. :D Since he's starting at $1.00, he might just be going for the "laugh" factor as I have in previous eBay ads:

Vintage Zenith TV set

WITH REMOTE CONTROL!

Hey, notice something different about this ad? I'm not just telling you this TV works, I'm showing a picture of it turned on! What a concept!

Of course this set is unrestored, so it could either keep working another 50 years, or burn your house down as soon as you turn it on... No promises!

All remote functions work. Good picture & sound (but should be recapped of course). Photo finish is starting to flake a bit, and there is a small wood chunk missing from the upper left corner. Both should be easy fixes. I'm only selling this one because I found a blonde version, so the brunette gets the heave-ho, just like a woman.

I think he means round as in not flat.

i got the same TV in my bedroom, my buddy picked it up at the dump 6 months ago for me for free, even came with the ORIGINAL remote, not some universal one, and the picture looks a LOT better. Ill let it go for 450 bux, ya know its collectable now ;-)

It is funny how so many people in America use predefined words with thier own private definitions. I guess they start as kids trying to be "smart" and it must become second nature.

Maybe that seller is 17 years old, and hasn't ever seen a ROUND tube... But what really glares in my face, as Chad points out, that this TV has the 26" square-corner tube; not even a standard rectangular with rounded corners!

I had not realized that I have owned so many round screen collectors items in the past 20 years. What a dip.

I am constantly asked if I work on the "new flat screen tv's" . They're talking about flat CRT sets, but it seems a lot of people dont know the diffference beetween those and LCD/PLASMA/DLP. Perhapps these things are so much clearer to us because we play with the stufff every day.
