Should be fun to do from memory...
Main TVs:
47" Panasonic 1080i CRT rear-proj - living room daily watcher
19" Sony Trinitron in the living room for the kids (and me) to play NES/Genesis on
Sony KV-20EXR10 wall-mounted in the bedroom (parents bought it new in 1991)
13" Sony Trinitron mid-90s stereo TV in the kitchen
32" Sony Wega 4:3 1080i CRT in the basement
7" Digital Prism ATSC LCD portable

Working TVs in storage:
3 80s-vintage Sony Trinitron 19"ers
an early 80s Sony Trinitron 12"
Early 90s Sony Trinitron 13"
Citizen B&W pocket LCD (where you view the image through a mirror) with separate backlight module
Sony Watchman with AM/FM Stereo, original AC adaptor and case

Non-working TVs in storage:
Emerson radio/tape/TV boombox (radio and tape ok, TV dead)
Sony Mega Watchman mini-radio/tape/TV boombox (radio and tape ok, TV dead)
GE color TV boombox with detachable microcassette (missing top cover, needs some general TLC)
KTV 5" portable - rarely powers up, need to troubleshoot
2 VictorMaxx Stuntmaster virtual reality helmets with passive-matrix LCD monitors
Sony Vidimagic Indextron projector with Beta VCR - seems a little dim and the VCR needs new belts.

Stuff for projects:
Dukane VCP/monitor, VCP guts removed but Panasonic-made 7" color monitor is in good working shape
Mini B&W TV (3 or 4 inches) from Gerber video baby monitor, works fine
Color LCD monitor intended to be attached to a Playstation 2. I was thinking this might end up in the Emerson or another boombox.
One or two camcorder B&W CRT viewfinders
Sony KDL-32S2000 - looks like a Wiimote victim, waiting to see if a replacement LCD panel will pop up
70s vintage jeep kit for a Sony TV (isolation transformer and video buffer) - pulled out of a 70s Sony TV, plan on putting it into one of my 80s Sonys which has a weak tuner

Need to fix and give away or just ditch:
32" Sony Trinitron works great with the back off, no picture and constant flashing LED with the back on, probably a broken trace near the FBT
35" RCA, early-90s, needs power supply repair kit to be put in (I have the kit, just have never gotten around to it)
50" Sony plasma monitor - suspect Y sus and buffer boards
Philips Magnavox (really Funai) 9" TVCR, was working recently but just took a fall and not worth fixing if it broke. Even if it still works I don't need it anymore.
20" Coby with DVD player, lots of filter caps are bulging, did not even bother plugging it in after picking it up off the curb.
2 13" Samsungs (early 90s) - nothing wrong with them but do not need
13" Zenith (early 90s) - ditto

So that's about 33 TVs/monitors. I definitely used to have a lot more.

ETA: The ad link that came up for my Mega Watchman actually pictures the one I have - an FD-555! Mine does not have the original stickers like the linked one (which is for sale on amaz0n).

Kinda like guns-More than I need, but not as many as I want....(grin)

Ehr... Wrong count :) 106

Update: +1 http://www.ebay.it/itm/270840111650?...84.m1497.l2649 :banana:

I've got about 20 sets, all restored and working. Many of them can be seen here (mixed in with my radio collection): http://www.radiomuseum.org/collectio..._albrecht.html

Although I'm sure I'll collect a few more in the coming years, I think I've generally got more than enough. Lately I've discovered that I enjoy restoring sets for other people perhaps more than collecting more of them myself. All the fun without consuming more space when the restoration is complete! I've done about 30 sets for others in the last few years. Would hate to find room for those in my house!

Right now quite a few of mine are at SFO airport as part of their antique TV exhibit. I'm enjoying their absence from my house as much as the airport visitors are enjoying looking at them to burn up some time while waiting for their flights... Lots of room in the house at the moment, and it's kind of nice!

I do not know Italian at all, but I think I understand this :

VENDO COME NON FUNZIONANTE!!!

It means "The item does not work!" or very similar, am I correct?

I counted 24, and that includes the non-working DuMont RA-113, and a little MCS 5" B/W set that I got from SandyG.

The oldest B/W is the DuMont. Capacitor replacement is underway.
The oldest color is my RCA CTC-10C, and it works. (since 1975)

Bruce-Did you ever convince that l'il thing to work ?

Well, Sandy, I swapped the tuner from my working MCS set to the one you had, and nothing. The tuner from yours is good, or better, than the one I have. I'll swap the CRT itself and then will have a good working set... to never use in my stereo system!! :banana:

I was watching the MCS when analogue TV went away... I'll never forget it. :tears:

I'd have to say about 8 to 9 sets not including the parts and junkers. Space does limit what I have and maybe that's a good thing. Of these, they are either working unrestored/restoring-not finished/need to restore!

Like my Predicta, even though it's operating I'm not sure when it will ever be complete to my satisfaction and lately I've been having fun with my Zenith Z3000.

I think I have about 350-400 TV's. I am working to get all of the TV's out of a barn and storage unit into a downtown office building, however it only has stairs (no elevator). I probably have about 50 of the TV's moved in but when I get my stair-climbing motorized dolly I can get most of the rest of them moved in.
I physically cannot take anymore hand lifting of TV's or other heavy equipment up the stairs even with an assistant and a hand truck.

I do have a trailer with ramp now which is so much better for transport than a pickup truck or van as no lifting is needed to get the sets on the vehicle.

I really have not been buying any more recently although I saw a rare sight at the Goodwill today, a Magnavox tube type color combo set with good 23" CRT. My back is aching at just the thought of hauling it though so I don't think I will get it.

A lot of of them were given to me at recycling events and I had to just empty the truck as fast as I could to get them all home so some have never even been tested yet for years. Now that I have the place downtown I have a real workshop and real place to set up the TV's and use them.

There are at least 45 scattered about on the main floor of my house. The new daily watcher is the 84 Sylvania console, it came for free with remote and seems low hours. The picture is great, and the cabinet style matches the living room. If I could get my floor model TV's up to the attic I wouldn't have six more of those in the garage, not to mention the 7 already in the house. The attic holds all my spare portables, some 20 to 40 I'd say. All together about 90 I guess, most people call it junk. Haha.

I lost count.

Yes, you're right, but this set probably need a simple recapping. Mivar and other italian brands uses the electrolytical capacitor made by FACON, one of the worst capacitor brands ever :sigh:

A rough count, im at 13. 14 if you count a g.e chassis with no cabinet or crt.

Hi Chad,

You may well have the record for most TVs procured. Curious as to why you've collected so many sets? I would think it would be impossible to enjoy them, work on them, or display them. And what will become of them when your time is up?

Freebies to everyone here on VK :D Sounds like a hoarder if I ever heard of one...

My number would be much higher if I hadn't moved so much. I just counted up every tv I ever had: 78 B&W, 39 Color = 117 total, only 28 of which I have now.

Recovering TV Horder
 

Today I have 40 including the 12 or so "new" TVs.

The photo shows a collection of 80 amassed in just 7 years. I had to move to Dallas for a "real job" in 1983, and my parents thought I was gone for good and forgot this rescue operation:tears:. I miss the RCA 21" color sets CTC5, CTC7, CTC9, CTC16E and CTC16XL.

Some of which were saved I still have:D:. Notable is an RCA CTC-12A "Burgoyne" (white french provincial model), which is next for a restore after the Admiral 17DX12.

If you can get dry storage with rodent control, any collection can be saved. Fortunately I have a detached garage and heated workshop, so my collection is rarely the subject of "downsizing" etc.
Attachment 172492

I'm not sure I could say why! It is not an un-achievable feat to get them all set up and working. Already I have much greater building facilities than years ago and I will continue to try and expand the areas available to set up the TV's. I literally work on my equipment 7 days a week and have a completely equipped workshop for repair, which you can see on my Youtube channel.

I have focused more recently on computer, typewriter, car, and radio repair but have also this year got several of the TV's completely restored.

There were several opportunities I had to get as many old TV's as I could physically haul and so I did since I had space to store them. They would have gone to the dump otherwise. Since then I really have quit getting any more except for a few given to me and have not been seeking them
out to buy. Even when I was going to estate sales and things there were few still around in recent years.
