Here are some of the more interesting sets that I remember finding. None are still with us today. They either got fixed and sold or thrown away when I couldn't fix them or because I was feeling pressure from my parents.

1. 19" RCA B&W from about '63. 1st TV I ever fixed. Used it in the bedroom for awhile.
2. Early '70's 19" Philco-Ford B&W w/UHF. This replaced the RCA above.
3. '75 19" Zenith CCII space command. 1st color TV I fixed. Sold it for $50 in '91.
4. '80 19" Magnavox motel set. Used in my bedroom for a few years.
5. '90 27" RCA Colortrak 2000 portable.
6. My uncle's '66 Zenith color set. I still have the cabinet and tube. The rest got disected long ago.
7. A couple of Zenith roundies that I tossed because I couldn't fix them at the time. I promise not to do that again. Please give me another chance!
8. A Magnavox roundie that got thrown out because I couldn't fix it. Side of the road find.
9. A Muntz rectangular color console. Chassis was an RCA clone.
10. Many late '60's/early'70's Zenith color consoles. Most of these were fixed and sold.
11. 23" Motorola color TV in a beige metal cabinet. Worked except for a bad 23EGP22 CRT. finally junked it.
12. 23" Motorola color tube console. I fixed it and sold it.
13. Several GE portacolors
14. Several Zenith CCII's and 4-tube hybrids
15. Several RCA's with the stand up solid state chassis.
16. RCA CTC40. Had a burned yoke and I junked it.
17. Various B&W metal portables and consoles from the '50's.
18. Early '60's Magnavox B&W TV/stereo combo. Kept it for years until I ran out of room!
19. Various 12"/17"/19" tube and SS B&W portables.
20. Many '80's and '90's BPC and console TV's that I don't want to remember.
