I guess it'd be this '58 Philco Miss America set. Unfortunately the CRT is shot and since it was used in the Predicta I'll never be able to afford a good one

This one is a little newer; but, for the moment, is my favorite TV. It's a 22" GTE-Sylvania solid state B&W console from '78. As one might expect, large screen solid state B&W sets from this era are rare and, besides this one, I've only seen two in the past 20 years.

My favorite is my 1965 Zenith 25MC33 roundie in the white chinese cabinet with the SC400.
For B/W it would be my 1966 Zenith 19" metal table set with the SC300, and the auto-shutoff. Last edited by Adam; 06-04-2016 at 12:11 AM. |

That metal set is like a mix between my UHF set and my Space Command set. My UHF set has a timer that will either turn the set off after a period of time or turn it on after a period of time depending on which way you turn the knob. I'm guessing that since your set has the same cart as mine that the one I found in the same estate sale as my set is factory origional. I believe the bottom shelf is missing on yours. You can confirm this by checking for groves on the center crossbars. The shelf on mine was poped out as found, and I had to gingerly pop it back in so it is likely that these often go missing.

Although I still love my DuMont, this RCA is really starting to win me over. I like the way it folds into a coffee table too, too cool.

And I have his brother, the Admiral 26R12. I have restored it since this photo and now have the correct color volume control knob. I had this exact model as my first TV when I was a teenager. I guess it is my favorite.

Count me in with the DuMont gang. My RA-109 has an excellent picture and is built like a tank. It looks just like the one already posted without the AM radio, just FM. The picture is my avitar.

To the poster with the Philco Miss America... That does not use the same tube as the Predicta. It uses a 90 degree tube.
As for mine, I would pick any of my round screen BW sets. For color, CTC-9. For rectangular color, Admiral with tilt out panel.

You should be able to sub the CRT with a more common tube like a 21CEP4 or simular. The basing is different and you have to locate the heater source, as the original is a 2.35 volt. The sub tubes are a bit longer, but should fit in a console.
