And there are some real lookers in there (and also not): The Motorola, Olympic and Packard Bell color combos, the GE console with the flappy garage-door front, the Admiral Concord combo, that Magnavox Roundie Combo.

The less said about that homely Early American Zenith and pretty much everything in the RCA ad, the better.
The Harper and the Whitby are not bad looking RCA sets...

Somehow I have (or was it had) the GE play anywhere portable, a portacolor, the Zenith 12" transistor portable (the white cabinet version), and had a Cutlass (wasn't an olds so I sold it :P).

Wish I had the Westinghouse Jetset.
