Hi Everyone!

Just a quick note to say hello to everyone on the forum.

I usually want to collect smaller things, but for some reason, 2013 has made me want to collect TV sets. Mostly 13" and 20" color sets.

Two 12" black and whites made their way to my home.

While I have always been fond of RCA TVs, one of my best looking sets is a 19" Panasonic.

Right now I am trying to get the color right on my early 80s XL 100. Colors seem a little brown and my DVD splash screen should be blue but looks a bit on the purple side.

Harrisburg PA area. The small stuff is also easier to move around by myself.

Hi Tim, Welcome to the TV (and radio) funhouse.

Youre in a good place to be checking craigslist.
Keep checking out the Salvation Army Thrift stores around da 'burg, there is likely something good and cheep to save.

Hi Dave,

Craigslist and I are good friends! I've gotten a few from there. As for the SA, they tell me that they don't take older TVs anymore. That stinks. Yard sale time is over now till Spring.

Thanks for the thoughts.
