BTW--I saw an early- to mid 60's Dumont roundie color set sell some time back at the ETF convention.

Before I bid a nice fellow who knew I wanted the Silvertone more, but was more concerned with not returning home empty handed offered to buy the Dumont off of me if I won the Silvertone...Which I did.

So my first roundy was a Dumont...Technically.

Here's a couple of photos of that DuMont roundie at the 2009 ETF. Looks like an RCA clone.
