Anybody here who only watches black&white tv?

Lately I've been running my monochrome sets more often. I just enjoy watching them. Most have high contrast and acceptable dc resto. So, I really have no use for scheduled TV broadcasts, and run a few agile modulators. I enjoy using b/w portables the way they were intended to be used.

In my yard and porch I sometimes carry out a small b/w portable and beam movies such as 'the Big Heat' or 'Panic in Year Zero', which were black and white anyway. I recently found a late seventies GTE Philco 19" b/w tv which was made in Taiwan. However it has seen very little use and makes an extremely bright picture with perfect linearity and ample video gain. It's a nice example of a sturdy black and white set which will last forever or damn near close to it.
But the cream of my monochrome crop are my 60s sony portables, my mid fifties Westinghouse in the metal cabinet, and my mid sixties Admiral 19" tube portable.

Is there anyone on the board who only watches black and white sets?
