Old 'But Still Operational' TV Sets

[Markxxx]

Was wondering if anyone still had an old TV set (with a converter now of course) that they still use? If so what is the oldest working TV set you still know of?

There's an early 1950's DuMont Royal Sovereign with a 30" screen (the largest available in its day) in working order at the Texas Broadcast Museum:

Last one I had was a Panasonic with a Zenith ATSC converter. Replaced it when TiVo made my then-current unit obsolete and upgraded me ... the menus wouldn't display properly so I got a new set from Best Buy.

Still have the TiVo and the TV.

There has to be some 90+ year olds out there with a 1978 Zenith console TV tuned to MeTV 24/7

I have a 1957 Sylvania Halolite that has a 21” screen, and I’m going to get the CRT replaced. It was my grandparents first TV.

I have a 1987 Sylvania rear projection still working perfectly. The sound is the best I've ever heard from a TV. The picture is, of course, not quite as good but the color is still accurate. And because it is analog it works through a digital converter. What's even more unusual is that it has been moved multiple times: Phoenix once locally then to Northern California then back to Phoenix and moved two more times locally.
