VERY nice collection. It's nice to see that there are other guys out there that are as crazy as I am. Looks like you might have room for a few more. Too bad about that necked roundie combo. Hopefully you'll find a good donor tube for it. Definitely worth saving.

Thanks for sharing

All you'd need are a few banners saying "Zenith" and "RCA" and such, and you'd have a vintage TV sales showroom.

The combo king's console cave, very nice. Very tidy-looking too. I do have one question though, what's the BPC monitor doing there?

And one of those cool fiber-optic Zenith Chromacolor signs.

It was like that until a week ago, i had many sorry project sets all taken apart and had a huge mess. It got to the point of looking at that side of the room made me sick. I cleaned up and remembered some good advice i got from kamikari: only take apart one set at a time or u will go crazy.

Good call. Gotta remember that one for when I'm able to start working on mine.

This just in...no combos are left in the tri-state area.

Nice collection TC, you seem to have a definite theme, a heavy one.

The climate controlled "showroom" helps alot also.

I like the fact you are using Westinghouse tubes, you can be sure....
