Childhood Memory TV Sets.

[jr_tech]

Recently, we have seen the results of two long term projects, to recapture memories of the family TV watched during childhood. Good job, John (Sylvania 1-128) and Bill (RCA Victor 6T74) on your sets!

Got to thinking that "childhood memory" sets might make for an interesting thread... how many of us have performed Herculean tasks to capture memories of sets watched in childhood? Post them up here!
I will start with two actual sets preserved from childhood... my first TV, an RCA 8PT7032*, which IIRC was pretty heavy for a kid to lug around, and a '53 Philco that my wife watched as a child. The third set is another 53 Philco similar to the one that I watched the Saturday cartoon shows on, but not likely the same set** Please pardon the ghosts and snow from our remaining analog low-power VHF station.

*Horiz frequency was way off today so I was unable to get a pix of the set operating.
**But possibly... the set was found in a thrift store in a small town that my brother had moved to... the sets' history is really unknown.

These sets are all un-restored... so for now, I have no great saga of restoration tasks to share.
