How many sets do you have currently?
 

My current count is 31, including 4 that haven't arrived yet.

Of that, 7 are fully restored and functioning, one (my RCA 730TV2) is 4 caps away from (hopefully) done, 7 others are in progress, and 12, not including the ones in transit, have yet to be worked on (it's gonna be a long winter, figured might as well stock up :) ).

WOW, Including the sets we use every day I think it's a grand total of 24.....

Don't tell the wife....

.

I have roughly 50. Give or take a couple.

A dozen or so here in my office, I'd guestimate a good 3 dozen, all told...

As the TV collecting thing is a new avenue for me I only have 11 and so far 2 are completed and one has become my daily driver. Old radios are a little different, I have just over 400 in various states and about 200 of them are restored and displayed through the house.

I probably still have 35-40 TVs with CRTs 17-inch to 30-inch, another 50 or so 3-inch CRT to 14-inch, and over 100 handheld or otherwise tiny CRT and LCD portables.

Someday I should do a complete inventory, and pass on about 150 sets to other collectors.

.

Oh my am I number if not value-deprived. Of non-vintage sets, I have two,
a 55" Sony Bravia LCD set and one of these clear plastic "prison" tvs (the latter cost only $8 and works fine, but unfortunately is the last year before even they went
ATSC.)

Vintage sets, lets see: I have two Sony FD230 Watchmans, an RCA 9T246, a Pilot TV-37, an Emerson 610, and the RCA CT-100. All but one Watchman work perfectly, that one has bad audio. That makes 8 sets total.

I find it near-impossible to watch the B&W TVs for long, as the lack of color
makes it hard to see things on modern color-expected shows. The CT-100,
however, is perfectly watchable indeed ... I have been watching one whole
baseball or football game a week on it.

Wanted Holy Grails: Sony KV-7010U with good CRT and flyback and
1936 5" British set.

Does such an animal exist? That would be quite a cool set to have both a 5" picture tube (would it be picture valve :scratch2:?) and a 405/240 selector switch. I know Marconi and HMV both made 5" sets but not until 1938.

Sorry to be a bit off topic here.

41 crt sets

6 CRT sets - an RCA CTC-16 roundy, my PortaColor, a Setchell Carlson 21" BW, an Emerson 17" BW portable, a 7" Tele-Tone, and an RCA 730TS. While it doesn't have a CRT yet, I also have my GE PC-A I'm building.

Funny, I have more Oscilloscopes than TVs - 13 in all.

I have no idea anymore, it was well over 100 some years ago, not counting all the little 5" solid state sets and the HD sets that i actually use.

I have a list on my other PC but it needs to be updated.

Let's count

1. Silvertone "roundie" - works, but has buzz in sound*
2. RCA CTC-38 - works great, in living room as main TV
3. RCA "Sharp" portable - dim picture, suspect bad tube*
4. RCA metal cabinet 8 inch portable - recapped, jail bars on screen, otherwise good*
5. Zenith 16" colour hybrid with SC-100 remote - works great but issues with color, suspect it needs an alignment
6. Philco Predicta Princess - as found, makes a decent pic but needs recapped, missing antenna*
7. Admiral 19" B&W - works well except linearity varies with line voltage a bit much*
8. 1979 vintage Sony commercial 17" Trinitron I got at Boeing Surplus - awesome, used by daughter for Nintendo Wii
9. Marconi 17" table top TV, early 50s - as found, needs new capacitors*

Any of the sets marked with a (*), I would entertain offers on, provided it approximately matches what I have in to them... always good to have some turnover.

i have no idea anymore .

I have 4 sets. 2 mid 50s motorola consoles, 1 with uhf, one without.a 1949-50 zenith porthole console combo.and a 49-50 philharmonic table top. I have pics of the philharmonic not the othes yet as I cant get at them just yet, my 60+ radios are in the way right now.:D

Around 85 - mostly late 40s/early 50s. 20 or so restored and working.

Four. I just got into this last year and my area isn't exactly an old TV breeding ground. I used to have more but I took in a lot of later-model junk as well.

1. 1988 Zenith model SE5535G console with the 9-516 main module that is in regular use. The original remote was cracked and hardly any of the buttons worked; I just dug out my NOS 1981 Zenith remote and found out that it works with this set.

2. 1978 RCA XL-100 19" set. It's awaiting repairs for a vertical problem that is common to the CTC88.

3. 1973 Zenith Chromacolor 25" console with the 25DC56 chassis and Space Command 500. I'm still waiting to get ahead enough to get good equipment to replace the white safety caps. Ran when last started.

4. 1971 Admiral K20 chassis 25" console. No idea of its health but it's a keeper.

I'm up to 20, not counting my relatively new flat screen that I use every day. Of those 20, 15 of them are on display in my house, the other 5 are in the garage/workshop.

It will take me some effort to count my "collected" TV sets (as opposed to modern, mostly flat-panel sets). I will post a total when I am able to count them.

Hmm, 5 vintage sets and 2 newer sets.
49' GE 805- recapped-works but has HV problem
56' RCA 8" set. Restored and used often
57' GE 14" set with Telechron alarm clock built in on top-unrestored(thinking about selling)
58' RCA 14" Deluxe set- recapped but has issues I couldn't solve
59' Zenith 21" console Space Command 300-still running on original parts! Waiting for recap
newer sets are a 91' Zenith 20" with a green tinted screen and an early 00's Sansui 13" set

TVs + radios
 

More than 300 and radios in the minority.

I'm counting somewhere around 52 or so? That means, wow, I've cut the collection pretty much in half! I'm aiming on getting it down to around a dozen. Radios had gotten into the 500-600 range at one point, but I've cut them way down as well.

Last count: radios (including collectible-ish SS sets) ~140.
TVs ~30

Add to that audio equipment, and a host of other junk.

Too many...... as i just found out the house we rent is gonna be sold so i may be forced to toss a few, and suspend repairs till things settle....

SR

Radios- tube, floor and table - 90
Console HiFis - 12
Stereo components - 45
TVs - nothing flat - 73

I give up counting for the moment. The truck with my ETF purchases just pulled up :yes:

Stereos, table radios (shortwave, etc.), multiband portable radios, tape decks, one lone 1939 console, one turntable, various types of televisions (two used as monitors) and lots and lots of computers old and new.

Hmm, no wonder I don't find many vintage televisions out there. They've all been snatched! Lol

Come to Buffalo. I can find you enough sets to fill a box truck.

Yeah, my collection seems to be getting larger as time goes on as well. The problem is that I like combo color sets.

4. 3 in curent use, one for use from time to time (to be more specifically, my nickname). All C.R.T.'s, no L.C.D.

Somewhere around 60, about 40 restored

13, I believe, which is not enough for me but too many for her!!

RCA 621TS, 630TS, 721TS, 9T256
Philco 48-700,48-1000,Safari
Dumont Doghouse
Crosley 307TA
GE 803

Andrea T-VK12

On the want list. Belmont 21A21, HMV 904/905, Viewtone VP100, Sightmaster S-15 or any prewar for that matter!!! :drool::drool:

Quelle surprise. ;)

1973 Zenith Chromacolor 25" console with the 25DC56 chassis, model SD2556-91, "The Whitney"
1976 Electrohome 25" console with the C31 chassis, model C31-510, "Concord"

1987 Electrohome (Mitsubishi) 19" table set, model 48CC13. We had the identical unit when I was a kid.

I used to have way more but I currently have 5 an all time low.
But I still have a bunch of radios and record players.

I have around 50 sets. I'm acquiring another 15 or so mystery sets when a local production wraps up, have no idea what they are except pre-1975.

I lost count.Got some in the garage,basement,shed,my old car and the back patio covered up.

I picked up a Panasonic and a Toshiba 19 inch monitor style sets from the curb in the past two weeks.

I had to think about this one, but i have 9 vintage tv sets hanging about. Six are tube tv's, 3 are solid state. hmm, maybe 20+ radios hanging about as well.

Lost count but enough to fill and over flow a 1200 sq ft basement
 

I would imagine I am up to 45 televisions a dozen or so radios and lots of reference material in my library. Like the rest of you, " There's always room for one more!":yes:.

currently only one, a Zenith Bugeye set I bought in Canton, TX two months ago.
