I love this thread! And it got me thinking.. about how many working B&W sets have gotten tossed because NOBODY would want one. I remember in our Zenith store, the cut-off point for B&W sales was about 1983. My uncle had the Zenith store display for B&W portables, and finally quit ordering any because the ones on the shelf were getting so old. But god.. I remember as a kid.. (circa 1976) when I was given an old Philco Seventeener and thought I was SO COOL because I finally had a set in my room. I've attached some pix of a K-mart B&W set that was given to me by Tim almost 8 years ago. It's a 74 or 75 tube set... still works great. I've kept it all this time because it was interesting to me that K-mart even had a store brand. The pix is snowy because I was trying to get the one UHF analog station we have in the area....
