CTC-11, also the mid-90s, got it in Southern MD at the indoor flea market they have at the Hughesville Tobacco Auction.
CTC-12, got it off ebay, won it for $5, maybe 4 years ago. It was in Philadelphia.
CTC-15, from the town dump in the early 90s; picked up an Admiral roundie at the same time, long gone now.
I found a small CTC-15 combo in the mid-90s on the curb in Easton, MD but parted it out.
The Zenith I have came from an ad in the Sussex Guide that read "old TVs for sale", that was about 12 years ago.
I had another Zenith, which sampson has now, picked it up while on vacation in Huntington, WV about 7 years ago at a used furniture store.
I have an Admiral that turned up at the auction house up in Crumpton, MD, a guy I know saw it and called me up, asked what I was willing to pay-he bid and won it for me.
I think there are still some around here to be had, they just haven't come out of the woodwork yet. One thing I found curious, a couple years ago a guy came on here and mentioned having several early roundies that he intended to sell, and he gave an address of E.Shore of MD. I tried to contact him but no luck. No idea who he was or where.
If you stumble upon one and it's now exactly the type/size you want, let me know. Might be up for a trade. I'd like to find a Philco roundie myself. Or, you never know, my wife has a dream of owning a jukebox...
