I only remember one roundie from my childhood. It was a console Zenith in my grandparents house in 1974. I remember being fascinated by the round screen as I had never seen one before. I have been fascinated by television receiver technology all my life. We stayed with my grandparents for two weeks waiting to move into our new house and I watched everything on that set. The picture seemed so big as I was used to 13" sets. One day the set made a loud pop and the picture went dim. I never saw it working again and I don't believe it was ever repaired. The TV repairman told them that the picture tube was bad and they should get rid of it. The round tube Zenith I recently acquired is nearly identical to the set they had back then.
