Glenn Waters: congratulations. I like to see younger persons taking care of old stuff. I will teach my kinds (when I will have one) I will teach them to respect the past.

We still watch our 1970 RCA XL 25 inch TV on an almost daily basis. They don't make them like that anymore.

I only have CRT TV's. I'm trying to keep it that way. The only non-CRT displays in my house are my laptop screen and the desktop computer's monitor. I actually use a 15" CRT monitor at my desk with my laptop.

Daily use (TV):
1973 Zenith Chromacolor 16" portable... rec room. majority of my TV watching 2010 "RCA" 20 inch CRT.. upstairs TV room, recently bought to replace 1997 Panasonic 20" with failing picture tube. Weekly use (Movies) Circa 2000 Runco DTV 930 3 CRT video projector with 120" screen. Awesome picture, huge pain to get convergence right. Do not have this connected to TV in order to preserve life of CRTs. At this rate should last a long time. 1979 ~17" Sony Trinitron Commercial TV, bought at Boeing Surplus in Tacoma for $15. Has BNC video and VTR inputs, and is hooked up to a DVD player. Used for children's movies. Must have been used infrequently, as picture is perfect, way better than my new "RCA" Daily use (computer) 2003 LG 17" Flatron Can't imagine abandoning the CRT in my house any time soon. |

Hi Guys,
Guess i will pitch-in also with my viewing setup. Because of space limitations, a 53 Sq meter Office/Lab, screen sizes are severely limited. Living in France, most TVs operate via OTA NTSC & PAL B/G signals generated locally. Sources are OTA DVB-T, DVB-Cable, UK satellite & DVDs. Vintage TVs - Really old: Oldest: RCA CT-100, 1954, working, weak Red gun. Motorola VT-71 "suitcase" Sentinel TV-400, 7" B&W - "Singer-like sewing machine" aspect. Sony KV-1310DF, 11" Trinitron, French, 1976 Sony KV-8000, 8", USA transformed to PAL/SECAM, 1980 Sony KV-5000 (8x), 5", USA Sony KV-5200 (2x), 5", USA Sony KV-9000, 9", USA Sony KV-5300, 11", USA Vintage B&W: Sony TV5-303W (USA) + Euro CCIR version + French "M" version Sony TV9-406, mid 1960s, 8" screen, Euro-multistandard. Celard, French, 1961, 9" transistor TV, 819/625 Panasonic TR-xx miniature "TravelVision Series" several of each - all 1.5" screens. Panasonic TR-1000 & TR-1001 Panasonic TR-1010 Panasonic TR-1020 Panasonic TR-1030 Panasonic TR-1030AP Panasonic CT-101 - 1.5" NTSC Color TV LCDs: about 30 units, all brands, all countries. I favor later generation TFT screens from Casio, Sony, Philips. Original & "Far-out": 3 x Sony KVX-370 Indextrons, all rebuilt & operationnal. Modern - l like to try new technologies: Fujitsu 42" 1999 Plasma Pro monitor - outdated today but still still works fine. Sony XEL-1 OLED TV - HD + SD, really beautiful pictures Aiptek Pocket 20 Lumen LED projector: TV in bed projected on the ceiling, fine for full-darkness TV viewing. FYI, the Oscars are 1:30AM to 06:00 AM Euro time, nicer to watch in bed! - in case you fall asleep! For those with girlfriends, other applications possible - use your imagination... 6 x RCA/Hitachi 1.5" Beam-Index color viewfinders, all with NTSC standalone tuners - tip: car TV tuner units. JVC CX-500 series, PAL B/G 1980s combo: 5" color tv (Great dot-type CRT) + radio/audio cassette combo. Vintage Sharp video projector, XV-P10U, early 80s, had pixels the size of peas, but many fond memories of watching LaserDisk movies on it Best Regards jhalphen Paris/France |

Well ive ONLY crt tv's for use. My "big" tv is a 1981 25" magnavox console in the bedroom. Just really wish my 4 year old nephew hadnt lost my remote for it.. Cant seem to find out how id get a replacement for it. Then ive an ugly black plastic 21" panasonic i bought in 2004 that still works great in the living room.
Though my brother did give me a 2004 sony 52" hdtv that the right bottom corner turned a bit fuzzy and the cat sharpened its claws so many times, ruined the built in speakers cloth covering... if i figure out the problem with the picture(or realize i dont care), thats going to be my garage tv. (hey, we all need places to hide at, the garage is my best friend these days).

i got a 1996 rca 36 inch crt this set stopped after 6 years then again 8 years later just recently but i repaired it myself both times, saved money doing it myself not to mention having to buy one of those flat face tvs,lol. this rca plays so well and the clearity is just of the charts even at 14 years old, although known for flybacks, hot, disc caps, and a few resistors the stuff is cheap to get. now i got spares of the known things that go bad for next time it stops so i should be good for another 6-8 years.

I bought a Zenith console from the waning days of such things in 1997. Against all odds, the picture tube is bright as new, but it's definitely had some rest in recent years as I enjoyed the fruits of my restoration labors. For instance, until recently a 1956 Zenith console was sitting in front of its descendant.
