It is hard to imagine a 1949 TV can perform that well. Of course, the only 1949 TV I have is a Motorola 9VT1 electrostatic set. It is a good set but not on the same design level as Philco or perhaps RCA. I can't help but think that we are seeing these sets as performing better than new considering the cleaner signal sources from DVD players and converter boxes. I could be perfectly satisfied with a properly restored vintage set over a flat screen any day, even a small screen black and white.
