The firt/last

[kx250rider]

I saw a mid 80s Midland drug store cheap-o 9" B&W that was solid state except for a 53HK7 output/damper compactron. That was probably the newest tube set I have noticed. Also saw a mid/late 70s Zenith Chromacolor 17" hybrid. That one was weird! Had the same front cabinet and knobs as the 17EC45-type sets.

To expand this thread to another question: Is there still any B&W TV made larger than 5"? I had seen 12" B&W sets at Fry's as recently as last year for $34.99, but not now. And is there still a Sony 5" Trinitron TV that is REALLY a Sony? The 5XB5, (or whatever the model # is), Color 5" CRT Watchman is NOT a real Sony. It's a Daewoo, I think.
