It's a work of art. If you ever sell, just let me know. Love it.

Can't match the romance, nostalgia and elegance of the above televisions, but from my collection ...

Panasonic CT 101A with postage stamp size color CRT. Wow factor.

I like my Admiral:

Yea drop me a line also :deal:.

I thought for sure that set was a British set. It sure resembles their styling.

And I have his brother, the Admiral 26R12. I have restored it since this photo and now have the correct color volume control knob. I had this exact model as my first TV when I was a teenager. I guess it is my favorite.

Count me in with the DuMont gang. My RA-109 has an excellent picture and is built like a tank. It looks just like the one already posted without the AM radio, just FM. The picture is my avitar.

To the poster with the Philco Miss America... That does not use the same tube as the Predicta. It uses a 90 degree tube.

As for mine, I would pick any of my round screen BW sets. For color, CTC-9. For rectangular color, Admiral with tilt out panel.

Of my older sets I'd pick this 7" Airline (I've since found that knob it's missing in that pic).

21EAP4 ... I wish you were right

Holy Cow!

That metal set is like a mix between my UHF set and my Space Command set.
My UHF set has a timer that will either turn the set off after a period of time or turn it on after a period of time depending on which way you turn the knob.

I'm guessing that since your set has the same cart as mine that the one I found in the same estate sale as my set is factory origional.
I believe the bottom shelf is missing on yours. You can confirm this by checking for groves on the center crossbars. The shelf on mine was poped out as found, and I had to gingerly pop it back in so it is likely that these often go missing.

Although I still love my DuMont, this RCA is really starting to win me over. I like the way it folds into a coffee table too, too cool.

Wow !!!!
 

:thmbsp: Those are some Great looking TVs , and I'd be proud to own any one of em !!!!!


My favorite is my 1950 Olympic table sized wood cased TV , and its my favorite because I've owned it since the 1960s ( yea , it wasnt an Antique by any means when I first bought it , but , over the years , we've become antiques together :D )

The image viewer wont let me upload my pictures because It says Ive already uploaded them to another thread , i'll try to get some updated photos soon :)

I've been trying to collect as many of these Zeniths as I can find. I currently have 9 of them:
1960 17" metal cabinet- SC300
1960 21" console
1961 19: metal cabinet
1961 23" console (hi-fi with 4 speakers)
1961 23" console - SC300
1963 19" metal cabinet - SC300
1966 19" metal cabinet - SC300
1967 19" metal cabinet
1971 23" metal cabinet

You should be able to sub the CRT with a more common tube like a 21CEP4 or simular. The basing is different and you have to locate the heater source, as the original is a 2.35 volt. The sub tubes are a bit longer, but should fit in a console.
