[QUOTE=Dave A;3013936]GE post-Portacolor but skinnier on top of the kitchen fridge. Early to mid-80's 9" or 10". All click VHF/UHF tuners running on a Comcast mini-box. Stripe CRT and all SS. Screams Toshiba. No hope of digging out the model number up there. Remember Fibber McGees' closet.
Oh heavenly days, Fibber! Sorry I coulden't resist. Tom C. |

The one exception is this 1986 Mac+ that gets regular use for playing vintage games such as "Gunshy". Much fun! This is the first computer that I ever owned that I did not build myself, back in the "stone age". jr |

Yep! More about the Mac "plus" here:

I'm still using my ten year old Admiral color tv with pix tube. 23".
I think this is one of the last ones made in Japan. It's still playing. I have broken button bracket issues, but, works fine with remote. I use it everyday. I hate flat screen. Bill Cahill

I have a Mitsubishi 19" from the early eighties in my bedroom that's on every single day. Bought it at an auction for a buck a few years ago. It works flawlessly and has a very good picture. Have a JVC 13" in the garage that gets used alot too.

Daily Watcher = tube set?
Hi:
I am more of a lurker than a participant in this hobby. That said I USED to fix older sets, and I highly admire the hard work you all do to keep these ol' beauties going!! My daily watcher is a 50" LG plasma set. Love the HD picture detail, but the color reproduction is no match for a 1960's roundie! Respect to all! Walt Anderson |

I still use a Sony KV-1311CR TV/monitor. Bought new around 1986 and watched almost daily since then. It's on right now. In the photo, it's the 13" set on my desk.
After 25 years of trouble-free service, it developed slanty interference lines in the picture. Something creeping in from a bad cap in the power supply. I took this opportunity to test every electrolytic in the set, and replaced about half a dozen. Now it's back on the road, and I expect it to last until its CRT gives out. We also have a 27" RCA ProScan set in another room, bought in the early 1990s. It was our daily watcher while our kids were small, and logged countless hours during the daytime as well as evenings. Now it's in the room where my wife's computer is located, and she watches a couple of hours a day. Never serviced, still looks very good. Phil Nelson Phil's Old Radios http://antiqueradio.org/index.html P.S. I still have a working Mac Plus, as well as Commodore VIC 20, C-64, and Amiga. The Sony was originally purchased as a monitor for the Amiga, which I got before Commodore monitors were available. Last edited by Phil Nelson; 10-03-2011 at 08:04 PM. |

Phil, That CTC-11 is one sweet piece! Your site is extra fun with that excellent commentary.
JD, That HH Scott amp looks similar to my 222. I am about to call an old friend and see if she still has the RCA CTC15 stereo combo set that I resurrected in '79. I last saw it in 84 after installing an antenna there. Dave 63 |
