Couldn't they have fixed the grille cloth while they were at it??

Couldn't they at least turn down the color?

I've been there, and seen this, some years ago, but I can't recall if the center set also had new guts installed.

I have a video about Herbert Hoover from his historical home, and they make a point of the fact that he was into the latest technology. They show off the color roundie he had in his office - but, it likewise has new guts installed, and pretty poorly too, so you can see a big gap between the bezel and the new picture tube.

They look the same as they did in '03, that RCA had the ripped speaker cloth back then!
I peeked into those sets at the time, and it looked like all of them had 27" color monitor chassis installed. Even the poor Zenith Panorama with the added base.

Those are all beauties or cuties there, whether with four feet or two... I especially like the looks of the "sled" radio. Thanks for sharing the pics!
