Wow this is a cool thread. Yeah when you are right into something you even dream about it. Love the Zenith set, kind of reminds me of that 1965 Sony monitor used for the Sony CV-2000 VTR shown on a brochue at Labguysworld video site except not as round.

Anyways as an old VCR/VTR collector I occasionally dream about VCRs particularly of the 1970s Philips N1500 to N1700 VCR format. And also I've dreamt about live scenes of my favourite pop music show "Countdown" particularly of the 1975 era and also dreamt of finding lost footage of that show too.

Getting back on track of the thread, I've dreamt about roundies a couple of times when I was 14 back in 1995 and I only once seen a CT-100 in a book then. Firstly I dreamt of what looked to be a round TV (not sure how round from memory) I think was colour, though only partly exposed in a cabinet (cloth covered the rest) and it had below the speaker grill "Sharp" yet it looked a bit like that Sony monitor for the CV-2000 VTR partly shown here http://www.labguysworld.com/CV-2000_015.jpg except rounder.

Then not so many weeks later I was watching a Freddy Kruger movie at my uncle's which one of the scenes had an early 60s twin speaker roundie (probably a 1962 Zenith or some early 60s RCA CTC set) where one of the guys was on it with an egg saying "this is your brain" hehehe and then Freddy appears on the set in some psychedelic background, later on blood pours out of the set .

Anyways that movie is what got me into roundie colour sets and some months later had a real weird dream of a roundie. Now this was pretty far out, the colour set was not convex roundie, it is how should I say "concave" at the sides, the sides curve in not out !!! how weird is that???

Pretty weird for an Aussie to have dreams about American roundies when only have seen two real examples in media at the time!!!

Anyways thought I'd share that with yous. And lastly I even sometimes for fun when I was 14/15 adjusted my computer monitor to make the sides convex to give it the roundie look hehehehehe.

Cheers
Troy
