I'd like to find a 21" B/W RCA Super tabletop set in the metal cabinet with the painted wood grain finish from c.1958. I had one in my room as a kid and I always liked it. I liked the way the controls were all on the top of the set
behind a door. I still have the t.v. stand I had it on as well as my old pair of rabbit ears.

I was always interested in finding one of those steel cabinet 18" zenith compact color sets with space command 300. The one id like to find is a 1970 model. I think its one of the only color sets zenith made with the 300 remote control. Very unique set.

If I could find that and a mint 29JC20 with space command 400, Id have all I ever wanted from a TV collection point of view.

I think if we all work hard at searching estate sales, (and maybe some horse swapping between members as well) this list could be doable..
With that said, the only problem might be shipping, but even that's being looked into as I speak.
Between the AK Pony Express and a couple new inexpensive shipping companies, I think this just might work out.

I have been looking for a RCA ctc22b set in the white cabinet with silver trim.

How about a 1971 Philcomatic portable with faux woodgrain finish?

Was that an 18" hybrid color set? I had one years ago that was a motel set. I'll keep an eye out for one (as well as everything else that has been mentioned so far).

I would love to find one of these solid state GE sets in a more conservative color than the Bicentennial model depicted here. I need parts for one I am restoring. It is one of my favorite 1970s 12" B&W sets.

Iv'e been looking for a ctc-38 RCA that I had when I was 12 or 13. Got it from the neighbor accross the street. My dad and I replaced all the tubes at a Thriftys down the road. I miss that set, it was a console, and produced a decent picture.

Cool, thanks....I think it was, on both accounts. Here is a pic of the console version of it. Not sure if this pic has a larger CRT.

I have a Philco table set, '72-73ish I believe. Fake woodgrain cabinet and "Days Inn" stamped on top. Works good still. Yours free if interested.

Mine would be a Curtis Mathes color console (tv only, no radio or TT) from the mid 70s.

Wow! Thanks...! Do you have a photo so I can be sure?

PS. Your '75 Quasar is still working wonderfully.....

My camera is m.i.a. right now. Doug previously had the set, and has a pic of it I believe.
