Hmmm...

Growing up, my parents had:

1970 RCA Lundberg, CTC-40 (1970-c.1988)
c. 1970 RCA 19" color remote tabletop, remote was sonic and had two long silver buttons hinged at the top (70-87)
1987 RCA 25/27" color set - died around '94.
c.1989 Zenith 19" color, digital tuner, not cable ready, System 3?

Sets that were mine:

c.1983 Panasonic 12" B&W (83-85)
1985 Magnavox 19" color with digital tuning, not cable ready (85-03)
1977 Zenith 19" B&W (90-03)
mid-80's Candle 19" color set, shiny black plastic w/knobs (97-98)
c. 1989 Sears 13" color remote, osd (98-08)
c.1973 Philco Ford 9" B&W, model 311BTG, chassis no. 3BH15 (98-present)
11/75 Quasar console 25", totl set, very heavy, identical set on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DZjvWy9ZfA (98-99)
11/80 Quasar console 25", particle board cabinet (03-04)
c.1966 Zenith 13" B&W portable, needs tuner alignment (05-present)
6/78 RCA XL-100 13" color, model EC333W (06-present)
two c.1977 12" B&W Zeniths, one no pic one no sound, had to let go (06)
2005 Durabrand 27" CRT color set, free (07-present)
1965 Magnavox 23" B&W console, U44 chassis (08-present)

That makes 14 sets, 5 of which I have now. Of course, I'm just beginning to learn about repairing these. Wish I still had my parents' 1970 RCAs and that 19" '77 B&W Zenith, that TV saw a lot of use between my mother and I over the years.
