I also have some vintage color sets, but mine aren't as impressive as the 1954 Admiral, Westinghouse and RCA sets I've seen here. I tend to prefer the 21" sets with all-glass picture tubes since it's easier to find these sets with usable picture tubes. Perhaps after I've restored and sold enough of my later-vintage color sets, I'll be able to afford to buy one of these true classics and then invest in restoring it.
My collection now includes four vintage color sets, two of which are in working condition.
My Sylvania 21LC28 is still in my garage. I placed it there last summer while preparing to move into my house. It should still work when I bring it into the house (this weekend) and I'll take some pics of it.
This is my most recent project. It's a Zenith 24MC32 circa 1962-63. This set has UHF but was built before '64 when UHF was made mandatory (service literature still shows UHF tuner as being included on "some models"). This set also was built before automatic degaussing circuits became standard equipment on color sets (no ADG circuit or coils in this set). Here's the picture of the set in operation.
