From oldest to newest:
Late 40's RCA 8T-243 10" tabletop
1950 RCA TC127 12" console- my first full restored roundie, I love it in the living room
Early 50's Tabletops:
Sparton 5325-A (indesructable, working original, unbelievable!!)
Motorola 17T13 and 17T8 17" one is bakelite, and one is wood. The bakelight is another working original.
Mid to late 50's sets:
1956 Philco 4136 21" Tabletop-another indestuctable, working original!
1955 or so Magnavox CTA992AA 21" console (current flyback project)
1959 Zenith Space Command 24" 18c24Q chassis (any takers? recapped! Still doesent work but looks as if it were hardly ever used. Pissed me off!)
Newer Stuff:
Early 70's hybrid 19" Sears tabletop Model 5284188521. It was too cool to let go to the landfill, plus it worked fine. INSTA VIEW-always unlpug!!
1984 Sears 27" remote control console. Not really a collectable but here is another super set. We bought this set in 1884 and it served perfectly with no service until late last year. Still plays like new intil the picture goes kind of blurry after 15 minutes or so. This newer solid state stuff isnt really my in my knowledge base so I have to decide if I should take to the shop or scrap. My Dad who bought it says move on and get a new one. I tell him I would rather attemt repair a set that has seved flawlesly for 23 years than buy one of these palstic China made tirds that might last 5 or 6 years.
Early 80's Panasonic 19" tabletop-superb utility set-any room-any time
1993 Zenith 19" remote, stereo, tabletop- my current daily workhorse on top of the beloved but sick Sears family heirloom
Emerson Model VR35 TV/FM/AM/PSB- this is one of those carry along battery jobs with maybe a 4" b&w crt. Bought for Winter power outages
