The "NOS" DuMont (Emerson) color set (1970 model) that I have is a real piece of work. Has an amateur quality to some of the design. Big, flimsy boards, some hard to reach components. When its working right it displays a picture that has the same softeness as the low focus voltage RCA's or a Motorola.

I have an 18" GE hybrid that is something of a joke, too. I just don't understand how they expected you to service some of the components.

Then there is the 21" Motorola bw table model from the late 50s in which you cannot access the bottom of the chassis without taking the entire cabinet completely apart, sides, top, everything. What were they thinking??? At least that set does work quite well. (as any late fifties bw should, IMO)
