Welcome to VK. Hope to see more posts from you in the future, as there aren't that many members here from northern Ohio. Today I live about 35 miles east of downtown Cleveland, but grew up in an eastern suburb of the city. I collected old TVs when I lived in the suburbs, and at one point had almost every major American make of TV from Admiral to Zenith; the only make of set I did not have was Magnavox. Had to give up most of my collection (except three sets) when I moved in 1972, and the rest (I started another collection when I returned to my home town in 1975) when I moved again 24 years later, in 1999. I hated to give up one set in particular, a 23" Zenith console from 1963 which I had retubed almost from scratch (the set only had two tubes in it when I found it in 1969, in the trash at the end of the street I grew up on). That Zenith had about the best b&w picture and sound I ever saw/heard, which was one more reason I hated like heck to give it up.

Again, welcome to VK. I've been a member here since 2002 and have enjoyed every minute of it. Hope you will too.
