I never saw a t.v. that didn't have the dot until i was a teenager. I was raised by my grandparents and in our house the sets dated from the 50's to early 60's. We had a CTC-7 in the living room, a 12" Admiral in my grandma's sewing room, and my brother had a CTC-5 in his room that he bought at a thrift store for the whopping price of $5! I had a G.E, combo from 1952 in my bedroom, and my brother (who started me in this hobby over 30 yrs. ago) had
a Capehart and two HUGE Curtes Mathes combos in the garage. I was about 14 or so when I saw my first Sony Trinitron and noticed that the dot was not there.
