Not a TV, but I have a Zenith VR-9000W Betamax VCR which supposedly once belonged to fashion designer Bill Blass. I found it at an antiques shop, along with a stack of Beta tapes of his fashion shows (newest one was from 1988). It supposedly came from his summer cottage, which they cleaned out after he died. I told the store owners that I had a working Beta VCR, and they said I could have the Zenith if I could confirm what was on the tapes. I had to mess with the speed and tracking controls on my BI-only Sony industrial VCR to play the tapes, since they were recorded in BII, but I was soon greeted by fuzzy images of models wearing pastel clothing. I brought the tapes back to the store owners, told them what was on them, and they gave me the VCR. I think they were planning to sell the tapes on eBay, but I have no idea what happened to them, and the antiques store closed a few months later. The VCR needs work, but I still have it.
