I've never seen a PB, Setchell-Carlson, or Olympic TV in person. Even the old TV men that I know who fixed stuff back in the early '70's don't remember seeing too many PB's in this part of the country. One that I talked to did remember fixing some Olympic's and talked about what a PITA they were. Around here, RCA and Zenith were by far the most common color TV finds. Follow that up with store brands like Silvertone, Bradford, and Truetone. Every once in awhile, an Admiral, Motorola or some Japanese brand would show up. And, I did have one late '60's Muntz color console with an RCA-clone chassis. Wish I still had it.
