Through word of mouth of my TV collector mate John of
http://cool386.tripod.com/ there is a 60s roundie colour set in the hands of a collector in Victoria which was said to be used for training or demonstration purposes.
Also Powerhouse museum has a GEC roundie monitor
http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/coll...&images=&c=&s= which was used with the EMI 204 3x vidicon tube colour camera
http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/coll...mages=on&c=&s= that was used for festival/fair demonstration purposes in the early to mid 60s over here.
And of course there were some roundie monitors in the Smith Kline French colour OB TV van that Monash University acquired in 1971, see my other post on that:

Yep you never know what turns up over here in Oz that's originated from USA, I was amazed alone to see John's 1948 imported Airline TV
http://cool386.tripod.com/400tv/400tv.html and to get from him a 1947 Andrea VJ12 chassis B&W TV
