I'm sure there are others, I scrapped a lot sets when I first started. But these come to mind.

-50's B/W Crosely w/ cabinet doors - Got lost, probably thrown out in a move in the early 90's.

-Mid 60's Motorola 19" B/W portable in a metal cabinet - Scrapped in the early 90's. It was exceptionally clean, but never had got a raster. Got HV, but I've never had a PIX tube tester and decided the tube must be bad. I wish I'd double check the CRT biasing.

-Mid 70's Zenith 19" B/W portable. It had dial lights, and a power transformer. Worked, except that I had to jumper the power switch. Donated in the early 90's.

-Zenith 4 tube Chromacolor in metal cabinet. Was an elderly neighbor's bedroom set. I replaced the audio output transistor in the early 90's. It broke down again and I was trying to get out of repairing other peoplese sets. The local TV repairman replaced it with a late 80's Zenith, in which later (the repair man had died at this point) the main micro died. At least I still have my grandma's 4 tube Chromacolor console.
