Or, even the kitchen with it's 1965 coppertone appliances...

To get to the point, I'm wrapping up a huge project where I moved the rear entry door to a different wall. This left me with an extra doorway, which I turned into a window (as seen below). I added some much needed cabinet space, and have just finshed building a countertop.

I'd like to have a small TV for the kitchen, but the question is: What kind of TV would look right? I'm not going to just cop-out and buy a Chinese box... It's gotta be something cool. However, it has to be reasonably sized. (No roundie stereo-theaters in the kitchen) I have the small Admiral portable that you see in the picture.... Not bad, but it's a little beat-up cosmetically.

Ideally, it would be color and Tube. 60's GE Portacolor comes to mind, but I've never really seen one in person, so it's hard to get an idea of size. B&W would be ok, but it needs to have UHF. You all know I like Zeniths, but I don't know if they ever made anything this small.

So here you see the countertop. I've placed the Admiral, and a 2-foot level in the picture for scale. Keep in mind, that I'll need to get at the light switch called out in the picture. What are your suggestions?
