I forgot that I once had a 54-ish RCA 27" console. Got it when I was 16 and I wish I had kept it, but damned if I know where I would have kept it....

I'm sure there are others, I scrapped a lot sets when I first started. But these come to mind.
-50's B/W Crosely w/ cabinet doors - Got lost, probably thrown out in a move in the early 90's. -Mid 60's Motorola 19" B/W portable in a metal cabinet - Scrapped in the early 90's. It was exceptionally clean, but never had got a raster. Got HV, but I've never had a PIX tube tester and decided the tube must be bad. I wish I'd double check the CRT biasing. -Mid 70's Zenith 19" B/W portable. It had dial lights, and a power transformer. Worked, except that I had to jumper the power switch. Donated in the early 90's. -Zenith 4 tube Chromacolor in metal cabinet. Was an elderly neighbor's bedroom set. I replaced the audio output transistor in the early 90's. It broke down again and I was trying to get out of repairing other peoplese sets. The local TV repairman replaced it with a late 80's Zenith, in which later (the repair man had died at this point) the main micro died. At least I still have my grandma's 4 tube Chromacolor console. |

Only two: A Sony KV-1922. It was my first brand-new color TV set. And, a Sony KX-1901 Profeel.
I suspect I would be quite disappointed by the performance of either compared to what I own now, though.
