2 of my sets

I bet that RCA Victor also sounds great too. It looks like a higher end console with extra speakers. Did they still have "Golden Throat Tone" in 1960? My grandmother's 1953 21" RCA Victor had that. TVs with a tone control were not that common in the lower end products.

To me the sound is every bit as important as the picture. I spent my entire childhood devoid of console TV sets at home. I got to see them all over the place at friends and relatives, but never at home. All our TVs were table models, portables and one consolette with swivel legs. We never had a TV that had good sound until I found an old console TV speaker still attached to its wooden grille and hooked it to our table model GE. It made all the difference in the world.

Is that RCA Victor a CTC11? I rescued a CTC11 not as fancy as yours about 30 years ago at a flea market and I haven't restored it yet. What do you use to get the signal to your TVs? I still have analog cable, but it doesn't have MEtv or AntennaTV. Green Acres has always been one of my favorite shows.
