there is a hotel here in the southend of columbus that still has some sylvania d-19 portables and a few zenith chromacolor 17 inch sets.i repaired some of those until last year when the owner passed on.she was an eccentric and quite a character here in columbus.always went the cheapest route.in the long run,i think she was ahead on these.they rarely broke down.some of those have never been repaired.28 in all.i repaired 3 sets in 25 years.they do have cable with remote boxes.her accountant said that she got a letter from a bank in tennessee once.she had over a million dollars in an account and had forgotten about it.she drove a pinto wagon until 2007.she came from poverty and never forgot it.someone suggested new sets once and i think she almost fainted.last time i saw them,all were actually playing well
