I have a really unusual 14" B&W Motorola (not Quasar)... It's about '75 with 3 or 4 tubes; rest is solid state. AND ITS REMOTE!!!!!!!!!!! A single button version of the mechanical one that was used with the late 70s Quasar color sets. It also has auto brightness, and auto-shutoff that turned the power off after a minute or so of signal loss (off-the-air). Mine is the only one like it WITH REMOTE I've ever seen. If anybody is curious to see it, I can haul it out and take a picture. It still kind of works, and I've never done anything to it since I took it in trade 25 years ago for another set. I had given it to my friend's 5-year-old sister back then when I first got it. Recently her husband told her to get rid of it, and I got it back Normally I would have told her to dump it, but I happened to think how unusual it was so I took it. Still has the papers too! (TV not for sale since it's history with me goes so far back)
