Interesting thread: How many TVs do you own?

At the moment, including the "daily drivers", I own a total of 17, a modest figure by many standards

Marty: You know we have two tv's.

Mrs. Baines: Don't be silly, nobody has TWO television sets!

All I have at the moment is:
Zenith 12" b&w hybrids in different colors, qty of 5
GE 12" red-white-blue SF chassis, nice low hour set works great.
Sharp 3LS36 color, pink just like Phil's.
Two JVC pop-up sets with radio, 5" b&w.

Thirty-some, not counting a few waiting in the garage for restoration.

My wife has suggested it's time to get rid of some, and I'm coming around to that point of view.

I have just three TVs:

19" Insignia (rebadged Sylvania) 19" class (18.5" diagonal) flat panel (daily watcher)

Zenith Sentry 2

RCA (Thomson) CTC-185 19"





Had lots more TVs (almost all of them in my basement) when I lived at the western end of Lake County, Ohio (Cleveland area), but I had to give most of them up when I moved in 1972. Had to get rid of the rest of them in 1999 when I moved (again) to a small apartment. The only sets I could possibly have in this place are small portables, such as the Zenith J121Y 12" solid state set I brought with me (along with the two 19" color table sets mentioned above) when I came here.

I think it was 84 at last count. I haven't bought much lately. Almost all are in storage since I'm moving across country.
