Here are two of my favorite sets. Neither is anything really special I guess but the Philco was my teenage room TV in the early 80s. I bought the Sparton from a guy at the flea market back then who used it as an everyday set until bringing it to the market to view. The strange thing is that both of these sets have been marvelous performers. The Philco went to the shop once in its heavy use days for distorted sound. The Sparton has never been worked on, at least in the last 20 years. They both remain watchable although the Philco came with a brightener and I believe it is catching up with the 21ZP4B. Best viewed with the lights off. I need the front plastic and small knobs for the Philco. Mine is damaged and missing 2 knobs. The Sparton is the more interesting and well built of the two. Double rectifiers, super reception, and extemely crisp, clear picture. Probably one of the best brands of the time. I think they are up there with Capehart and Dumont.
