Can you recall every tv you ever had?

[Dude111]

I remember one black and white TV we had,a small one in the 80s that had a FINE TUNING knob........ It was QUITE USEFUL for "fine tuning" scrambled signals in (Especially if there was no channel up next to it (31/32 for example (If nothing was on 32 it was a bit easier)))

[1980'sTVman]

I might have to go back to edit some of the years on these sets but this is roughly what I can recall.

1983 13" Zenith Sold

1993 13" Goldstar Still Own

1987 13" Emerson Still Own

1992 13" Sharp Linytron @Friends Home
&
2006 13" Magnavox @Friends Home

1988 13" MGA Still Own

1992 13" Hitachi Still Own

1986 9" GE SS Still Own

early 2000's 20" Sharp Sold

2005 20" SV2000 For Sale

90's 12" B&W Amtel Still Own

1987 5" portable Craig w/ radio Still Own

1987 13" Goldstar Arriving Soon

1986 13" B&W Samsung Arriving Soon

My Current favorites are my 1987 Emerson and Amtel. I'm not sure why I still own the infamous Funai SV2000, I don't have any interest in it I just thought I could make a few bucks off of it since I found it for free and it works. I only share Interests in Televisions from the 1980's and maybe the 70's, that being said I'm not all too proud of my sets from the 90's though.

My parents had when I was born

1986 25" SR2000 console in the living room with a Goldstar VCR
13" SR2000 dial TV in the bedroom

My first TV was a 13" Capehart woodgrain from the 80s that my neighbor was throwing out. It always had white lines at the top of the screen but it didn't bother me, it was my first TV in my room. My parents bought me an Orion VCR to watch movies on it.

Then another neighbor threw out a 1994 RCA ColorTrak 19". I brought it home. It worked but always had a faint hum and had a funny color to the picture. Sometimes the picture would shake and I would smack the top of the cabinet to straighten it. LOL I used it until the sound went out. Then my parents bought me a new 20" Panasonic for my birthday in '04. Loved that set, but it got hit by lighting and I got a Sylvania (dreaded Funai) 20" flat CRT. Big downgrade to me, but there weren't many CRTs left in the stores by that point, so options were few.

The living room console shorted out around 2001 and my parents replaced it with a 32" Sanyo. Loved that TV too but it died and was replaced by a Westinghouse flat panel that never had a great picture. We wished we still had the Sanyo. My mom accidentally knocked over the Westinghouse and it was replaced by an LG LED TV which was an improvement.

I did also have a 1990 white Mitsubisi 13" that I dragged home one day from a neighbor's trash. I kept it awhile but it always had a blurry picture for some reason even when the signal was good and I could never program channels because there was no menu button on the front and I did not have the original remote. It would just show three green dashes when you changed channels. I forget what I did with that.

Oh and I still do have a 1985 Emerson 5" portable TV/radio. It's pretty much useless now.
