My 13" RCA XL-100, model EC333W (6/78): I found this set covered in 2 inches of dust in a building my boss was prepping for demolition. I took it home, cleaned it up, and surprisingly it has the best picture of any set in the house! Clear, sharp, wonderful colors. Will hook it up to a cable box when signals go digital next year.

The orange 9" set is a solid-state Philco Ford model 311BTG, chassis no. 3BH15. Bought it from a thrift store in Fargo, N.D. for $1.75 in 1998.

Unpictured is a 3-year-old 25" Durabrand TV in the living room. A family friend gave it to us when we moved in our house last year, as they "upgraded" to a plasma/LCD type set. I also have a 13" B&W Zenith from the mid-60's that has a beautiful picture but loses audio when you focus in on the channel.

Sure would like to have the CTC-40 console I grew up watching, it was a 1970 model that swiveled on it's legs.
