I do NOT like empty cabinets (Why mister Harry Poster kills his TVs?)
Actually, your idea for the CTC19 is good; in my opinion my Irradio set ("Per tritwi") has an ideal cabinet for an "Apple" Philco TV set (or "proto Apple TV") from the 50s (except for 70 degrees deflection).
My Irradio TV will never be cannibalized until my death, of course.

Laptop computers usually have just one lamp, monitors and TVs usually have two.

LED backlights are used only in smaller LCD screens such as cellphones or digital cameras

Nonlosapeeeeeeeeevoooooooooo!
Thank you!
Do you like my recent posts in "Per tritwi", Francesco?
What TVs have you picked up with tritwi in Florence, as you wrote to me in your e-mail?
