My aunt and uncle bought a remote round screen color rca set in 1963 and it was the first color set I saw in person. They were vary fussy when it came to the color adjustments and it had a vary good picture. I was the one who would crank up the color when watching cartoons and sit about two inches away from the screen. My aunt would tell me to sit back from the tv or I would go blind but I never did listen to her and I still do it now. { I am 48 years old.} That set was in service till 1975 and was on 8 to 10 hours a day. The flyback burned up in 1966 and the crt was replaced in 1970 if I recall correctly. { My uncle would show me the repair bills.} The first round color set I owned was a ctc15 that my step dad gave me when my mom bought a new one in 1972. The crt got busted when I moved out of the house in 1973. When I bought my house in 1979. I started collecting round screen color and b&w sets and now I have a large collection of round screen sets. I had no clue that there were other people that collected old color sets untill I met Tim in the 90's. Now I see people collecting 70's and 80's sets and I think that is so awesome. I hope our collections will be around for a long time for other people to love and enjoy just like we do.
