It seems like that's always my luck.
If I find an E51 or anything else you might be interested in, I'll let you know. Atlanta is still a far distance from Mississippi; but, not 3K miles! Years ago, I had some Sylvania 19" hospital sets that you would have probably liked. One was a mid '70's (E08, IIRC) with a motorized tuner, transformer powered modular chassis, delta gun CRT, and heavy as lead. The badge on the front read, in large letters, "Sylvania GT". Under that, in smaller letters, was printed "hospital matic II" The next one was an early '80's (E53, IIRC) that still retained the modular chassis; but, did not use a power transformer and used a 19" inline CRT. The tuner was a single knob motor driven varactor type with a switch for either UHF or cable midband channels. The third was a commercial version E32 that used an electronic cable ready tuner w/ red LED readout. These sets had the more modern looking Sylvania logo.
I remember a few other 19" Sylvania/Philco sets from the '76-'79 time period that used something like an E23 chassis that was actually a single board chassis mounted on a heavy metal frame. The CRT was an early large neck inline type with a socket that looked just like the standard delta gun tube socket (of course, it was wired different).
