Early Westinghouse rectangular color set

[Carmine]

This really drives me nuts too! Sometimes it would be so easy to get the correct era set for a film, and it would really improve the picture. I mean, is it REALLY that hard to find a 50s-60s era B&W set in working condition?? I've seen 80s TVs shown in movies set from the 50s... Ruins the mood.

I'm pretty sure that the kitchen set used in "The Wonder Years" was a 12" B&W Zenith from about 1977. I see these all the time on Ebay claiming they're from the 60s! I have one, and hate to call it "junk" as I love all things Zenith, but it certainly was wrong for the show.

On tonight's episode of "That 70's Show", (Red gets a BetaMax) I'm pretty sure I saw the wife use the same Chrome/Black Space Command that came with my '77 Zenith. On another episode, they show the front of the basement TV, It's the classic 17" Zenith B&W from the 60s.

As far as "American Dreams" goes... Bleh!!!! A waste of CRT life! I also enjoy all the 15-year-old 1950s cars without a spec of rust (in a snow-belt state!) And naturally, they're all brigthly colored converts and 2 dr hardtops!
