I'll ponder it a while, but I don't think so. It was a decent size.

I'm a complete TV novice, do you have a pic? I'll look around the net and see if I can find one like it.

Coulda been a Panasonic...I had a green 12" b&w, all SS. I know they made a red and orange version as well. Sanyo also.

I would like to find one of those crappy 12" GE Performance color tvs from the late '70s early '80s. I had one as a kid and smashed it when it quit working. I don't smash them now!! I learned how to fix 'em instead!

Got one.. Are you coming to the AK fest this year? I could get to you then.

*zenithfan1* · #51 02-19-2008, 09:16 AM

Sorry but no, I was planning on going next year. This year I wanted to go to the ETF convention.

I'd like to find an RCA CTC-25, "The Narvik". It was the Danish Modern cabinet.

I'd like to find Fred's avatar!

It's hanging on the wall above my TRK-12.
It's an original TV shop neon sign and it looks beautiful.
One of the "neatest" things in my collection.

Love neon. There's a Zenith sign at the end of color TV row at the ETF. Here it is behind me but before I learned it worked.

A Sony KV-1400AS. One of these was the first color TV I bought with my own money back when I was 12 years old. That was the first color set that I didn't have to share with the rest of the family. I paid $40 for one that wasn't working, but when it couldn't fix it myself back then a family friend paid for the repair.

I became a regular at that repair shop scrounging through the stuff they threw away. It was also the same repair shop that "lost" my KV-1310

. They closed down a few years ago. I think a beauty salon is in the building now, but the trio of C-band satellite dishes are still on the roof.

I sold my original KV-1400AS years ago after getting bigger and better sets, but I regretted it. Now I have another one.

This one is almost indentical to the one I had. Right down to chips and dings in some of the same places and a similar degree of yellowing of the white cabinet.

I haven't had a real good look at this one yet, but I suspect it needs a flyback. Does anyone know if one for a KV-1440 will work?

Among my first sets, I actually had a hand-me-down 13" Samsung from 82. Big clunky metal remote, with a red LED that lit when you pressed any button, and it was IR, too! Paired with a wired-remote Sharp VCR I was in heaven. Sold them both at a yard sale, and here we are 20 years later, and my bedroom set is even older than it was.

Thanks for your generous offer to help AK members find thier favorite TV's! Hopefully you can help me.I've been searching for a 1962 Zenith 29JC20 Roundie Color TV (on & off) for 30 years! I am a tube purist, and what I like about the set the most is that it uses the 2 3DG4 LV tubes instead of the Diodes. Also looking for a 1962 or '63 Zenith 19" B/W Portable TV Model: K2109 Chassi: 16K27 Thanks Again, Wally
