I guess I'd have to go along with the DuMont crowd on this one. My 1947 DuMont Clifton RA-102 is the one set that consistently puts a smile on my face, and anyone who sees it is quite taken with it. It has a darn nice picture, and has proven to be a very reliable TV. I'd definitely vote it the number one spot in my collection.

That Clifton is stunning. It would win the "most beautiful TV ever made" contest, if I got a vote.

I should frame that photo and hang it on the wall, since my chances of finding one "in the wild" are close to zero!

It's a work of art. If you ever sell, just let me know. Love it.

I thought for sure that set was a British set. It sure resembles their styling.

Probably my favorite set is my 1974 Philips 26C365 "Mantegna", with multistandard chassis KM2. One of the most complex set ever built... A real monster, with three convergence panel, dozen of modules, miles of wiring...
