To me the Zenith color roundie is my personal Holy Grail of vintage electronics. My grandparents had one and I fell in love with the style. I still wish round screens were available on at least some sets. I find the circular shape more pleasing to look at. Especially when compared to the sharp square cornered sets of today. I have never become used to 90 degree angles on a TV screen. The build quality is very high on the name brand roundies. Nothing compares to it. Also, early color TV now means I can "stick it to the man". By that I mean the government tried to make all old sets obsolete by the switch to digital. By maintaining and using my tube type sets, I am opposing the change which I do not believe was for the better. Make me obsolete? I don't think so.
