Don't lose hope, you will find a set that is nice, and right for you. Just think, before 2007 I had NO roundies at all! I had color sets but not roundies. I picked up my first roundie at halloween of '07 in Overland Park, KS. It was a 1200 mile round trip. It is the set in my avatar and the only remote roundie I have. I now have 8 altogether including a '56 RCA CTC-4 "The Haviland" and a '56 RCA CTC-5 "Wingate" and also a '59 RCA CTC-9 "Annaversary Model" for '50s sets. One Admiral from '65, and the rest are Zenith. I have three fully functional Zenith sets now, the rest are slowly coming along. You might have to go a little out of your way but you'll find one. Doug has all the luck because of where he is located, Zeniths are everywhere. I can't afford the gas to go down that way every weekend so I usually miss out even though I'm sort of close. That '65 didn't go well but, it has parts that have helped several other AK members and has helped in bringing another '65 back to life for my collection. Now it's carcass sits out in the garage with a dead tube and no knobs or chassis. Keep looking my friend, the sets are out there.
