What make are the two TVs you mentioned? I for one will be waiting to see pictures of them.

I also live in a small town (in a small two-story apartment building on the main street) where old TVs don't show up on the curbs very often. I've lived here six years and have seen a couple sets (a late-'70s RCA color console and a 1980s-vintage RCA portable several years ago, not to mention two stereo consoles just up the street from me last summer), but frankly, old sets aren't as plentiful here as they were (and may still be) in my hometown. There are quite a few folks here who have lived in town some 50 years or more and grew up here; it wouldn't surprise me if they, too, hold on to their old TVs rather than throwing them out, even if the sets work poorly or not at all. My grandmother was something like that; she had a late-1940s Silvertone radio/phono combo she kept until some time in the very early '70s, and a 1950 General Electric 16" b&w console TV she had until she got a color set in 1971.

Good sets are everywhere around you, in the cellars, on the attics, in the barns and so on. We and you don't know where they are until we / you find them. Here in the Braunschweig aerea, appr. 400,000 people live. In the last year I got a
- Telefunken PALcolor 708 from 1967 (attic),
- Telefunken Palcromat from 1967 (attic),
- a Saba color from 1967 (attic),
- a Philips TD1410U from 1952 (attic),
- a Telefunken PALcolor 740 from 1969 (cellar).
- a second Telefunken PALcolor 708 from 1967 I got from a retired post serviceman near Aachen, who telephoned me.
Two of these sets were from people which find them while cleaning the house. Four of these sets were offered to me after reports about my tv collection in the local newspaper.
I think, even rare vintage sets are everywhere, more than we might expect.

I would agree...there are many old homes with an old tv hidden away somewhere. It is now just a game of finding them before the dumpster does. I think what too often happens is that the people charged with cleaning out old houses feel that these old sets are worthless so they don't even make an effort. I suggest that we all continue to keep up the search because you never know where a tv will show up...or what connection will bring it to you.

I agree with bryan all the way. This is a reason why we dont even see old 1960's-early 70's tube type color (or b/w) tvs on ebay. Owners think they are so useless that they are not even worth the effort to put on ebay. Estate sales are my ONLY hope to find these sets. I even miss many old sets at estate sales because the family threw out the old TV's before the sale. I run into this ALL THE TIME! Even when you do find an old set, the people are surprized and you always get the "what are you going to do with it" question. or you get "Im glad we saved it for the sale, we didnt think it was going to sell".

As far as ebay goes, I think the last time I ever saw a nice 23" tube type zenith color table set was 4 or 5 years ago. I have not seen anything since! Ebay almost seems like lost hope for finding 60's table sets, but the roundies still show up from time to time because they are so different, people think they are worth something (sometimes!)
my advice: Always check your local estate sales when ever possible!

With Estate sales, it helps if the vendors are nice people who deal fair...there are several in this area who know we like TV's and electronic equipment and they won't throw it out and will advise us when there is a sale which has it.
If you go to garage sales you might just inquire if they have old TV's even if you don't see any out for sale.

Yeah, ALWAYS ask!
 

Slightly off topic for this forum, but right on regarding "don't assume anything":

I went to an auction a few years ago when a production company was closing up shop. Conspicuously absent from the list of lots was an Ampex 350 studio console tape deck sitting forlornly over in the corner, covered with dust. When I asked about it, I was told "Oh, that doesn't work any more." At my request, they added it to the auction and, silly me, I was the only one interested at the opening bid of five dollars :)

From then on, I ALWAYS ask!

Not a one. :thmbsp:

Not a one?! NOT A ONE?!!! Ya gotta get a one. Then you gotta get ANOTHER, and ANOTHER, and another and another and a-n-o-t-h-e-r... Then ya gotta sell your dining room furniture to make room for more. THEN ya got something going! :yes:

--Dave

Hmmm... I wonder how many of us have actually done something like this??? :D

It wouldn't be the first time I've used a (covered) console TV as a table. :)

I gave away my couch one weekend last year when I got 2 console sets at once, so I could fit them. I got 11 console TVs (5 of which are big ones with radio+phono) and 3 console radios all stuffed in a 1 bedroom apartment, I use the tops of the consoles to put all my portable/table-top sets. In my closet you will find CRTs. In my kitchen cabinets, Sams. In my desk drawers, tubes and caps. ...

But then what? Is the medium really the message, because the message is not very good.

McLuhan might have said "The medium is the pathology" in this case.

Hagbard: are you a collector, or do you think we're all just plain nuts? :)

--Dave

As I was wondering last night how many working round color sets are there out there, then I started wondering about old sets in general, so I figured I would start this thread up again.

color rectangular:

1975 Zenith 19" chromacolor II plastic cabinet - remote (SC 600) - working
1968 Zenith 21" metal cabinet - working
1967 Zenith 25" console - working

color round:

1963 Philco combo -working
1961 RCA CTC-10 console - remote - not working (but CRT tests good)

B&W:

1970 Zenith 23" metal cabinet - working
1961 Zenith 19" metal cabinet - working
1961 Zenith 23" console - working
1960 Zenith 17" metal cabinet - remote (SC 300) - working
1960 Zenith 21" console - working
1959 Magnavox 24" combo - working
1958 Sylvania 17" metal cabinet - not working
1956 RCA 8" metal cabinet - not working
1954 Westinghouse 21" metal/wood console - working
1951 Motorola 17" bakelite cabinet - not working
1951 Teletone 14" bakelite cabinet - not working

b/w round:

1950 DuMont RA112 19" console - not working (but 19AP4 metal CRT tests good)
1949 Hoffman 610 10" - working
1949 RCA T-100 10" - not-working

1948 Hallicrafters 12" - not working
1948 GE 10" - not working
1948 Motorola TS-4J 7" electrostatic x4 (but I really only have enough parts between them to make 2 complete sets)
1947 RCA 721TS 10" (ch-1) not-working
1946 RCA 630TS 10" (ch-1) not-working

As you can see I've got a lot of sets that need fixing...
26 sets total, I just went back and looked at my first post in this thread, only 5 of the sets I have now are part of the original 21 I started with then. I probably reached my all time high with nearly 50 sets at the beginning of last summer, but I've sold/parted a lot of sets since then.

JVC 21" (1990)
GE 27" (1993)
Sylvania 13" (2000)

OK, my list:

1967 Sylvania Portable 23" Color (via Doug Harland)

1968 RCA GL-644W Console 23" CTC38A Color (was working, now needs to be fixed)

1968 Zenith T-2987-1 Console 25" Color (via Bryan Gadow)

1969 RCA Mural TV CTC-19 Portable 19" Color (via Bryan Gadow)

1975 Quasar Works in a Drawer WU9182LW-1 Console 25" Color (via Captain Moody)


And newer color sets (note no LCD or Plasma):
1989 Panasonic 19"
2001 Sharp 32"
1989 Sharp 13"
2002 Symphonic 15" (with built in VCR)
1991 Daewoo 13"
1993 Emerson 19"
2003 Sylvania 12" (with built in VCR)
1981 JVC 5" Color CX-500 (with radio, cassette)

Two 5" small B&W sets (battery & AC)

I don't know how you guys manage with such large collections, especially the one who said he has 12 color roundies. My modest vintage TV lot is as follows:

(1) Zenith 25MC33 Color Roundie 1965 (working)
(1) Motorola 9VT1 B&W Roundie 1949 (was working-restored chassis but needs ballast tube)
(1) RCA 8" Personal Portable, 1956 grey cabinet version without stand and antennas (restored and working)
(1) Quasar 12" B&W Solid State 1978 (like new but has horizontal hold problem)
(5) 5" Portable B&W Sets (3 with am/fm radio)
(1) Sony Watchman FD-42A 4" Flat CRT B&W Portable

My lot of vintage radios, tube and transistor is larger still.

I'm a small time player compared to those of you with over 200 TVs.

Since moving back to CA a few mos. ago I've only acquired 8 t.v.s, but my place is overrun with antique radios!

Updated t.v. list;
(1) Motorola VT-71 (working)
(1) Packard-Bell Cartravision (working)
(1) RCA CTC-15 (working)
(1) '64 Motorola rectangular CRT color console (working somewhat, but needs to be recapped)
(2) Zenith Space Command 600 sets (1 working, 1 not)
(1) Sony KV-1997 (repairs in progress)
(1) pre-Phillips era Magnavox 19" set (working)

Dumont-First with the finest in television.:yes:

From oldest to newest:

Late 40's RCA 8T-243 10" tabletop

1950 RCA TC127 12" console- my first full restored roundie, I love it in the living room

Early 50's Tabletops:

Sparton 5325-A (indesructable, working original, unbelievable!!)

Motorola 17T13 and 17T8 17" one is bakelite, and one is wood. The bakelight is another working original.

Mid to late 50's sets:

1956 Philco 4136 21" Tabletop-another indestuctable, working original!

1955 or so Magnavox CTA992AA 21" console (current flyback project)

1959 Zenith Space Command 24" 18c24Q chassis (any takers? recapped! Still doesent work but looks as if it were hardly ever used. Pissed me off!)

Newer Stuff:

Early 70's hybrid 19" Sears tabletop Model 5284188521. It was too cool to let go to the landfill, plus it worked fine. INSTA VIEW-always unlpug!!

1984 Sears 27" remote control console. Not really a collectable but here is another super set. We bought this set in 1884 and it served perfectly with no service until late last year. Still plays like new intil the picture goes kind of blurry after 15 minutes or so. This newer solid state stuff isnt really my in my knowledge base so I have to decide if I should take to the shop or scrap. My Dad who bought it says move on and get a new one. I tell him I would rather attemt repair a set that has seved flawlesly for 23 years than buy one of these palstic China made tirds that might last 5 or 6 years.

Early 80's Panasonic 19" tabletop-superb utility set-any room-any time


1993 Zenith 19" remote, stereo, tabletop- my current daily workhorse on top of the beloved but sick Sears family heirloom

Emerson Model VR35 TV/FM/AM/PSB- this is one of those carry along battery jobs with maybe a 4" b&w crt. Bought for Winter power outages

48 as the end of the ETF convention.

I have more old stuff than space to keep it...

Great to see these collection lists. Hard to believe its been nearly 3 years since I started this thread. My collection has grown considerably since then and my open space has gotten considerably smaller..... Heres my updated list, including b/w sets. Brief description of the TV screen size, type and if equipped with remote control and chassis model. 93 total vintage TV's including 2 complete parts TV's at the bottom of the list.

Current collection stats:

25 total b/w TV's

68 total color TV's

56 of the 93 TV's are Zenith (60%)

26 of the 93 TV's are RCA (28%)

12% other brands, including motorola, sears, admiral, GE, Philco.

The mean average of the TV's in my collection is from 1968

There is a tie for the mode year of the collection, 1968 and 1973, 12 TV's from '68 and 12 TV's from '73.

only 3 of the TV's were in the family since new

17 of the 56 Zenith TV's have space command remote control (30% of the zeniths) of those 17, 13 are color TV's.

1 japanese made Set (1969 sears color by sanyo)

92 are quality made in USA!
