Wow, this Discussion Forum was forwarded to me by a fellow Vintage Color TV aficionado, & I also discovered that another friend/collector was posting here too. Small cyber space!
Anyway, I became fascinated by the 21" round-tube sets in the mid-60's when I stayed with my Aunt & Uncle for a week when I was in High School. They'd just bought a contemporary round-tubed Zenith console & I found myself glued to it. Years later, it occured to me that I'd like to own one of those sets, & the search was on. I even found an old Zenith model that looks very much like the one my Aunt & Uncle had. Attached is a pic of it, as well as other pics (in subseqent posts) of the other vintage sets I've collected. The first one I ever found, a 1961 RCA New Vista Color tabletop model w/metal cabinet, is now up for auction on eBay.
Thanks for forwarding me the URL to this site, Steve. Hi Rob!
