Odd Sets You Would Like To Find

[Oldstuff78]

Is there an odd model TV you would like to run across for your collection ? I'm not into the Danish Modern style sets that much and prefer the more traditional styled cabinets (french provincial, itallian provincial, or straight legs sets), but this one little cheapy set would be a great find for me. I posted it before. At first I didn't think I cared for it, but it has kind of grown on me.





It's a 1969 Ward's Airline Color. Since a lot of people couldn't afford color in the 60''s, this was an affordable option. If I had been around in 1969 I could picture myself watching cool shows like Adam 12 on it.

I'd like to find a remote CTC7 or maybe another '50s color set NOT made by RCA. I like that little Wards set too, I like the metal cabinet (I think it's metal and if not, I still like it) and the small size. Personally, I'd take anything in a Danish Modern cabinet. RCA made some great looking ones, Zenith too.

I'd like to find:
the 19" RCA set my parents had with the two-button ultrasonic remote, bought around 1970.
One of the later (78-80) console B&W sets
77-78 black & silver 19" Zenith B&W set
RCA CTC-40 Lundberg (GM-663)
Early Silvertone or Truetone color set
A Coronado or Setchell Carlson set too.

Let's see what I can think of:

1. Any roundie color set
2. Any tube type Zenith set in a metal cabinet (color or B&W)
3. Early large screen color horizontal solid state chassis Zenith in metal cabinet
4. Early '70's Truetone black metal cabinet tube type 14" color set (we had one when I was growing up)
5. Early '70's 9" GE AC/DC B&W in a leather case (had one of those, too)
6. Any late '70's-early '80's large screen B&W
7. Later GE portacolor
8. Early '70's 19" RCA tube type color hospital set
9. Early '70's 23" RCA mural TV in metal cabinet
10. Mid '60's Motorola rectangular color set in beige metal cabinet
11. Early-mid '60's 19" RCA B&W w/ knobs on top of case. The first TV I ever fixed was like this.

OK, I'll stop now because I've run out of room!

First, I need to "find" a bigger house.

Then, I'd like to find a round-screen Heathkit color TV, and a Belmont 21A21 B&W set.

Motorola TS-905 with the long legs (the kind that hold the set up high enough for the dog to sleep under)....
That would make me real happy!

Sets that I don't already have that I'd most like to find:

1. remote ctc-7
2. Zenith porthole (any model except a combo)

A Sony KV-7010; the first color Sony sold in the USA. Small 7" portable in a leatherette and chrome case, with real safety glass out front. I had one in ROUGH shape, sold it thinking I'd find a better one; never did. And any Kaye-Halbert sets, of course!

A Philco TV-123, or any non-RCA color set of the 50s for that matter. A Setchell-Carlson color set. The set I grew up with, a GE 23v console, KE chassis, though any parallel-string GE 23v would suffice. Among b/w, I would like to someday make the room for a mirror-in-lid and a projection set.

It's easy to make the list long! Picture owning an example from the sixties from every company that offered a color set...hmmm.

The Rectangular Westinghouse color set is one I can think of.

A CT-100 would be nice but the CRT problem takes some of the shine off that idea.

Any Pre-War.

[zenith2134]

I had a kv-1710, what's so special about that one?

I'd like to find one of the early Zenith 14" color portable sets from the late 60s with the metal cabinets.

Someday, I would love to find a Dieter Rams Braun set like this, but it would probably be hard to find in the US.
