How many sets? I have no idea. I lost track 6 years ago.
I think it's in excess of 200 - 300 or so give or take a few dozen now. My wife claims (she's rarely wrong about most common sense things) that I'll probably never spend time with all of them. I remind her that collecting TV's is not common sense for most people and while I may never be able to spent time with all of them - I'll be thinking about all of them.
Of course, I let her win the argument then give her some money to buy something for herself.
This usually works and leaves me to practice my eccentric art.
Some of the more memorable sets include an RCA CT-100, CTC-4, CTC-9, CTC-11, CTC-12 color sets, including an early RCA roundie stereo console. Early B&W projection sets, and several Dumonts (including one that uses a CBS color wheel adaptor). I'm also fascinated by my early Japanese colors including a vintage Toshiba with the strange CRT (21FB gun on a japanese glass bottle). I have an Indextron and (just tonight) acquired the infamous KV-3000R. I wish I could get a Chromatron for my collection - now that would be cool...!
Then, of course, did I forget to mention, there's the antique audio and radio collections...mostly RCA, Zenith, Philco, Silvertone, Scott Radio, Marantz, and Grundig. Then there's the communications receivers and transmitters (both civilian and military) with Collins, Hallicrafters, Hammarlund, Scott, Heathkit, Yaesu, Drake, etc.
Ha...even my daily ride is almost on the endangered list...just a couple of years to go before my caddidily hopper gets historic vehicle plates!
