What is your favorite TV

There has been a 1947 Dumont 12" RA-103 “Chatham” Teleset TV on eBay which hasn't sold a couple times around. A little high priced at $499.95 but not unreasonable. It got me thinking that in a 1970s TV collectors guide and price list the Dumont doghouse was rated the number one set on collectors lists. While the Philco 49T-1150 was least popular. I think prewar sets were considered out of reach of most collectors (unobtainable) so they weren't really considered. I think the Farnsworth GV260 may be towards the top of my want list but I still like my Dumont Chatham. Has the Doghouse lost its favour? Why?
