I watch the ones that I have restored in living "Black and Green"(except for the portable Hoffman I have that is too new for the tinted glass). I have Non-Hoffman B&W TVs from the same time period that I can watch if I get tired of the green. My wife has nick-named one of the Hoffmans "Limey" as its glass seems to be greener than the others.

Looks like the coffee table Hoffman has a serious "tube to air" problem. My consoles use the kind of hard to find 21FP4. Lickily, mine have been usable so far. However, I have an even earlier Hoffman console that uses the impossible to find 19AP4(same as some of the "Giant Circle" Zeniths). It has vacuum, but is pretty weak.
