Old TV's are to small for my getting old eyes.. I'll be watching it on my Sharp Aquos LC-52D64U.

...at 1080i of course..

Thinking of going somewhere just to get out of the house.

Probably a '65 Zenith roundie and stereo combo. I've been using it quite bit lately. The picture is awesome although I can see a recap coming in it's near future, vertical is starting to get short and cannot be corrected. All the roundies I have will be recapped by the time winter is over. I hope to have the whole room full of them running when analog goes. I will record the event.

i'm watching it on a 1976 Philips K11 right now!

I personally wouldn't waste the heater emission of a vintage CRT watching election results, but maybe I will fire up my little GE Portacolor (tube type, of course). Otherwise, I will be watching on my 36 inch Sony CRT tv that weighs a gazillion pounds. When it dies, it is leaving in pieces.
Football games are another story! Old color CRT's like them!

Ashamed to say I plan on getting my info from Google Maps... :(

But hey, probably on a CRT :)

In the living room with my wife, laptop on Real Clear Politics, "old" Sony Wega 48" flatscreen TV, and my old pal Mr. Woodford, "Reserve" that is.

On my knees! :D

Hey, it's just a joke. Just trying to inject a little humor into the night.

It is just a coincidence though. I do have my 38+ year old B&W basic portable shop TV with it's chest open at the moment. Just a dead tube I hope. I just may go down to the basement and see if I can replace the tube and tune in some happy results.

Probably on a 1977 Zenith 17" Chromacolor II with a dying CRT. It's been on all day (although I have not been watching it) and if it can take all this election coverage, it should last from now on, LOL!

Perfect timing, I will be watching the new Blu-Ray release of "Get Smart" on my Big Screen.

Oxymoron? :scratch2:

I'm OD'd on the whole subject, so I will spend quality time at the bench.

Years ago I was privy to how the coverage was choreographed as to holding back numbers to create a sense of drama. So now I will check on the results tomorrow morning as things shake themselves out.

The issue that most directly affects me is an elementary school district bond issue ($50 million) that was uncharacteristically quiet. Those results I will get online, on my 1999's crt computer monitor from the county election board website.

'70 model Zenith with a 12A12C52 chassis. Been using it as a daily watcher since August of '06. My favorite set I have too! The green halo isn't as bad as the pic shows. Its been a great TV.

I'll let them sort it out a bit and will check the 10 o'clock news. Right now I'm gonna go watch my daughter's volleyball team whoopass.
