Congrats on a great site; you did very well.

Doug, I just looked at part of your website and am impressed. You did a very good job putting the site together; it's one of the best-looking sites I've seen here in my three years as an AK member. I'm not familiar with Picturetrail, but it looks like it certainly does the job for you.

Your '69 Zenith SC600 looks great in your basement TV area. I'm glad to see these older sets being used on a daily basis, as yours is. If I still lived in a house with a basement, I'd probably try for the same effect.

I do have one question, though: With all of your TVs, what will you do when the analog stations go off the air in about two years? I think you still have your antenna farm you put in when you moved to Batavia awhile ago. ATSC tuners for all those sets will cost you a small fortune, unless you have cable or satellite--and even then your cable/satellite bill will go through the roof.

The small radios are a nice touch in the TV area as well. Atop the SC600 I could swear I saw a TransOceanic 1000 or 3000, and also a German multi-band radio to the side of the TV. (I too have a Zenith TO 1000 atop my 1995 Zenith Sentry 2 19" table set in my bedroom, but the paint on the TV cabinet is chipping off so it doesn't look nearly as good as your SC600.)

You have a TV viewing area you can and rightfully should be proud of. I sincerely hope it brings you much enjoyment for many years to come.

Kind regards,
