Was the OP giving us a trick question? "Fully transistorized" would imply no tubes, therefore any TV with a CRT would not qualify.
Besides the 2EP4 CRT being a "tube", there are also a pair of 5642 HV rectifier "tubes" in the Safari.

I believe the Sony 8-301 gets a bit closer to being fully transistorized, having the CRT as the only tube in it.
