Old photos of TV's

[bandersen]

A couple weeks after I scored an Admiral 4H15, I stumbled across this photo on Ebay

Two pictures of a woman with her TV set, I believe the photo with the set turned on was taken in the early 60's and the other in the late 50's. I suspect the TV is a Philco:

One from the 60's shows a Philips set. The other is obviously from the 50's, with a TV that I couldn't identify:

resembles a Capehart we used to have. It was the first TV I remember seeing.

My mother and father (on floor), each with their first sets. Nice Emerson radio on top on my Dad's set.

That radio in the color photo is desireable, too. A friend of mine has one of those. Great pictures.

That radio is an Emerson 520, right? I am on the hunt for one. Seen a few on eBay unrestored going for $200 +

My father thinks his brother still has their original one.

I'm kind of curious about what kind of set is in this picture of my mom from May 1961. The other pic is of me, probably in 1985, in front of what I believe was a 1981 Sony Trinitron console. This set was passed on to my grandmother and used until the CRT went weak and was junked in 1999 by yours truly to make it easier to get to the dumpster.

That was one big SONY for back in the day. Way too cool.

Yes indeedy...and that KV2601 was a lot heavier than the RCA, GE and Mags I delivered, drooled over and set up in those days.

That's definitely a General Electric set in the 1961 pic; I'd say circa 1954. Let me see if I can find an exact match....

Easy enough to see "Zenith" on that one; 1952 model or thereabouts?

But what could be that beauty sitting under the Zenith?
