I was only joking when I wrote that. I used to joke with my wife that our RCA would need to catch on fire before she would consider replacing it.
I like to restore and maintain my audio equipment from the 70's and 80's though I was never attracted to restoring CRT televisions. When I discovered that I could no longer carry the 25" RCA by myself I knew it was time to let go of the design.
I wouldn't mind owning the first television my parents purchased. It was a black and white unit with a 13" screen... I believe it was a GE. The unit was in a 3 foot (.9 meter) long wooden case. I remember seeing the insides as a kid. It looked like something from another world.
