Excellent. I do have the roundie thats pictured. Its got the 24NC31 chassis which puts out an outstanding picture.

I'd really like to find one of those early 18" table models. The earliest I have is a '69 but I know that one in this ad is the first generation the 18".

As for the radios, the royal 3000 is by far my most favorite of the TO series. The other radio pictured as letter "A" is one that I've been searching ebay on for years. I had one as a kid back in the early 90's, bought it at the resale shop down the street from where I grew up for 2 bucks. It's their first solid state table radio which actually came out in '66 as the N890. Its a very high end unit with the plug in transistors. The one I had was beat up and I saw another one on ebay a couple years ago. It too was pretty well beat but bought it anyway. I eventually gave it away as a freebie to someone who bought some TV's off me as the extreme wear and tear annoyed me but couldn't just junk it. Would love to find a mint one someday.

In fact, theres nothing in that ad that I'd love to find. One of those mid-late 60's space command black and whites would be a great find. Seems like if you find them, its the early 60's ones and then thats it, impossible to find anything later than about a '63.
