Most of those Zeniths and similar monochrome sets Adam has draw 1.6 amps. Tube color is about 3.3, much less for the Chromacolor SS, heavy as they are.
The answer is a combination of those two. I think maybe 10 of those BW sets can run more than 3 hours (16 amps load) on a 20 amp or 7 sets if its a 15 amp breaker. Take away two BW, to add a color set.
I built a new room with six outlets around the perimeter, all on a 20 amp breaker with no other receptacles on that circuit, even lights. There will be 12 BW consoles and 5 color TV's. I probably will not have all of them fit to run at the same time
and THAT is a retirement dream.
