I guess I'm a lightweight - Two Color Sets and Two Black and White Sets:
CTC-16 Roundie - gotta get my focus coil in, otherwise A-OK GE Portacolor - trash-picked, worked without a problem! Setchell-Carlson 19" Console BW - has AGC/Sync issue, tuner needs cleaning. Emerson 19" Luggable - Weak sync, needs a recap. I actually am at an equillibrium - Parts and sets take up 100% of my available space, and I can't get anymore sets without giving up some parts. Neither will likely happen for some time, or at least until my kids get out of the house in a few years. Cheers,

Flyweight here! I have eight televisions, if you include the only-13-years-old B&O that is my "daily watcher". Three of them are Phillips Discoverers, and three others are small (14" or below) models. None of the really nice big ones like the DuMonts or Predictas, etc... not because I don't want them, but because (1) they are very hard to find here, even in the wholesale places (all long gone?), and (2) I just don't have the space for them. I live in a modest downtown Hong Kong apartment, so amassing dozens of televisions is pretty much out of the question, let alone 100+ ...but I have managed to amass over 100 pieces of audio components (receivers, amps), since they are smaller and stack up much better!
 Even that number I'm gradually decreasing, though; space is just too big an issue to collect many of anything here.I still like to read this forum, though, and if I ever move to a more suitable location for it, I'll definitely be on the hunt for a few nice vintage televisions! I'm collecting them in spirit, you might say, even if not in fact.

truetone, I was wondering if anyone would ever find an 'Era II'. Up in the attic I have a chassis out of one, found at a defunct Admiral dealer. Never seen one up and running.
