If someone wanted to they could build a huge collection of these very cheap and with little space. But there are only a few that most would give a second look. There was the RCA mini-console, some of those "mod" designs, the red/white/blue GE, some of those Motorolas with the handle on the end are kinda neat. I seem to recall a Zenith covered in cowhide & didn't someone make a denim covered set? None of them were real exciting, though. I have a few, because I just have a hard time throwing something away when it's perfectly good. I did have a grungy GE from about 74, mostly tube, that I parted out. It had hv problems & was so poorly/cheaply made that I just couldn't see putting any time into it. I have an older version of the same set which is clean so it stays. (a little note: the older set lists the Syracuse address on back & has a GE crt with GE EIA #; the newer one was stamped Portsmouth & had a GE crt with an EIA for Clinton out of Chicago, IIRC. I did save the crt, for what reason I don't know)
