There was a set at the auction quite similar to the white one in the back on the picture that was a Zenith and IT had an LCD dial with AM and FM mono and I believe a clock. It had a very nice picture also.

I had one of those TVs... In fact, that was my very first TV... when I was 5 years old back in 1987. My mom won it at work. It had an LCD display that was backlit orange, clock, channel #, etc. It did have an AM/FM radio. The remote control on it was infared, but it took a 9 volt battery.

It didn't get used until we moved into our house in September 1989. Then one day, the power went off while I was watching it. It never came back on and my dad threw it away. I later found out that was due to a faulty surge suppressor (that same surge suppressor fried an answering machine 2 years later.) This was still when Zenith was Zenith, so if that didn't happen that TV would still probably be my daily watcher to this day.

Chad,

I like that Seeburg (?) "Stereo 300" jukebox in one of the pics of your TV collection. Haven't seen one like it since I was a teenage kid some 35 years ago. A pizza place in the next town east of where I grew up had Seeburgs, AMIs, etc. (they wore out quickly, as they got quite a bit of use; seems I saw a new one in the place every six months or so).

BTW, I'm trying to transfer all my CDs into my computer (which is hooked up to my stereo) to get the same effect as those old jukeboxes, but using 21st century technology. Man, what a job, as I have about 50+ CDs now and am a subscriber to BMG Music Service in Indianapolis, so I get a new one or two every couple months. I try to transfer one or two every couple days; at that rate it will take several months to transfer them all, but it will be worth it when I'm done. The CD player in my stereo has random-access track selection, via a keypad on the remote control, but only takes up to 3 CDs at a time. Having all (or at least most) of my discs in the computer will allow me to call up any track I want just by highlighting the title in the playlist (MusicMatch Jukebox player) and double-clicking it.

Speaking of jukeboxes, I've heard of the new CD jukes but have yet to actually see one in a public establishment. Are these very popular yet?
