Would those be black and white?  I don't really have much in the way of
junk that's _that_ old any more,  having moved too many times to keep on
hauling it around.  The oldest set I have here is one that I brought from
NY when I moved out of there -- in 1978!  It's a little Sony KV-1212,  a
12" color set that's still (mostly) working fine,  except for the CRT
getting a little tired.  It's the only set here that has a
continuous-tuning UHF tuner,  the way they all used to be.
