your favorite/most durable set

[compucat]

My most durable is my little 8 inch RCA personal portable. It is the little metal cabinet set sometimes found with the tilt stand and built-in rabbit ears. Mine is in a grey metal cabinet and it is the version with just the four plastic feet on the bottom and no included aerials. After I restored it, the set worked for 9 years before needing another repair. Since then it has performed dependably. I like the set because it is compact, ruggedly built, has a transformer power supply and just has that old TV look that you can't get on anything new.

As far as favorite, it is a tie between the above mentiond set and my 8 inch Motorola 9VT1. I love the round screen and the set since restoration has been very reliable.
