I have a tall wood console RCA 16:9 sitting in our barn; 34" if I recall. The tube is a little gassy, so I quit using it about 8 years ago. There were at least two sizes of those, and maybe more. My ex-GF has a table model 16:9 curved tube RCA; newer than the one in the barn, and I'll ask her to let me know if it quits, and I'll rescue it. Hers has a built-in DirecTV receiver. Mine is 1994, and I think is only pseudo-HD (maybe 440 if that). Hers is 1080i. Same as this ProScan version: http://www.shopping.com/Proscan-PS38000/info
