Speaking of 23" B&W Sets...

I wonder if RCA and GE made any large screen B&W sets any later than the early '70's. I do know that RCA built a 23" metal cabinet B&W Lyceum TV for school use sometime in the early '70's.

RCA also made a 25" "Lyceum" color table model set, in the mid-'70s. I saw only one of these up close, when I worked in the A/V department in high school; we had such a set as a monitor for one of our school's four closed-circuit video channels. Our Lyceum set was used on our only color channel at that time, channel 7.

Except for a 19" Zenith color that went up in smoke in 1973 after six months, we had 19" black&white Zenith and RCA portables as the family TV set up until 1981.

I also have a wooden solid state 1978 Voxson (italian) 23" tabletop that runs on 12 volts DC! (as well as 110/220VAC of course) it was probably meant to be used on RVs

Thinking about it, i don't think i've ever seen a large screen color set with a 12VDC power input.

I fixed some 25V steel cabinet CTC68 RCA Lyceum TV's for a guy that bought them at a school auction. They were heavy as lead and had many types of jacks on the back, like what the slightly older 23V CTC39 tube sets had.
