I'll drag home some '80's portables; but, I'm not much into '80's consoles. By that time, they had become pretty much "cookie cutter" in terms of styling and most had particleboard/plastic cabinets. Another big issue for me is space; which, I'm almost out of and I need to reserve what little room I have left for older stuff. With that said, those '80's RCA consoles were excellent TV's and I made a lot of money off of them a long time ago; but, sadly, they are hard to give away today. If I was in need of a TV and a mid '80's RCA console came my way; then, I'd have no problem with putting it into service. Unlike most people today, I don't feel like I have to own a flatscreen TV.

Interesting. Would there be any other brands in the 80's, apart from RCA, that you would consider good enough (or at least interesting enough) for your collection? It seems that Sony from that time period are considered to be very good.
I am asking because over here I only seem to be able to find the "less desirable" of the 80's tv like hitachi (there is a LOT of those on the market right now) and quasar. I did find one mitsubishi console and those seem to be considered high end for the time, but even that one is a low end model (particule board and only coax). So i'd like to know what to look for in that time period.
