Hello, I picked up a Novenber, 1975 GE Portacolor here in North Bay a few years back at a flea market-I don't have any pictures at the moment but it is almost like the 1976 Portacolor posted here in this thread. I got it not long before that flea market turned into an absolute junk shop with people's yard sale junk:-( I also got a 1975 Portacolor rebranded for JC Penny as well and they both work-yes tube sets that work at that smae flea market along with a 1972 Fleetwood Color console-23-inch model and a 1972 Hitachi Japaneese bulit solid state 23-inch console working as well too. I also got the 1969 portacolor model posted on this thread as well. My earliest color set I picked up here in North Bay is a 1968 Zenith 13-inch color tabletop set that weighs a ton! Got that in 2002. Last year, I was lucky enough to score a 1974 Philips 23-inch color console-still working as well here in North Bay. I am just getting these sets in time before those "stroller people" had a chance to ruin them. I did just the same with a bunch of Betamax tapes and a Betamax VCR as well. Made some terrific saves there too. It's like I am grabbing these vintage TVs out of a filthy toilet before they get flushed down. I also grabbed a 1979-I am not sure of make-console color TV and a number of B&W 12-inchers and a 1978 Chromacolor II last year at Sally-Ann before they became "stroller bait". I just gotta keep on beating the bushes here in North Bay to keep those "stroller people" away from my finds as I scoop them up off the street to speak
