Looking a 15” tube color set

[Turle]

Been looking forever for a 15” color tube set. I’ve seen More portacolors for sale than these. The one time I thought I had a lead on one the seller took my money and blocked me :/

If anyone’s got one they are willing to give up I would be more than happy to buy it

Idk if they made 17” tube color sets but if those exist I’ll take one of those too

Sorry if this isn’t the place to make wanted set posts

Location is important. Pretty much all shipping involves air freight where conveyors clog and packages drop 30' regularly not to mention people throwing packages to one another and the catcher intentionally missing the heavy looking ones... There's no way to pack something as fragile as a TV to survive that.

Shipping is basically loading 2/3 of the bullets in a revolver and playing Russian roulette with your purchase.

The 15 inch Zeniths are good sets, but that low voltage focus CRT gives you a soft picture. I don’t know who came ip with that dum design, but it doesn’t work…

They worked fine when they were new, with few hours. I had an RCA 15", CTC22 low hours set that had perfect focus. That 15" Zenith used the same CRT, RCA sourced.
BTW, that tube was referred to as "Einzell lense CRT.

If you want an all tube set look for the 14" & 16" Zenith. Easiest to
deal with & best built.
Still quite common. Avoid GE's for now.
If you want solid state common sizes are 13" & 17". Avoid Sonys from
the 70's. 13" & 17" Zeniths a best bet.
There are tons out there you just gotta get creative. Example is go to yard sales in old neiborhoods & ASK !
BTW this stuff is almost always worth ZERO ! In fact you save them $$ by taking it away for free.
