for round Panasonic TVs and any TV that is weird shaped or visibly different
in appearance. Also wanted are the small Sony Watchman TVs preferrably with

See my other ads for the model numbers of these TVs. I am not locked into just
these models and will consider others. I am also seeking all literature, sales
brochures, instruction booklets, even empty boxesrelating to transistor TVs.
No, I am not contemplating a new book on TVs just something new to collect and
