For Historic Preservation or as Parts Donors to enable the preservation of similar sets, I am seeking Analog Television Sets which are 40 or more years old. Of particular interest are 21-inch Color sets made before 1968 (screens have a distinct round shape at sides). Early remote-control sets and especially Zenith brand are especially interesting. Also seeking B/W sets with unusually small screen sizes in relation to cabinet size (console sets with screens 17 inches or smaller, tabletop sets where cabinet is much wider or deeper than screen size). Surplus new parts (tubes, etc. new in boxes) are also of interest. I have tentative plans to create some kind of historic exhibit. More details as the ideas develop. Suggestions welcome.
CAUTION: DO NOT attempt to plug in or "test" the set. Electric shock, fire, and other hazards may exist. Special equipment and procedures are required for testing to be done safely.
