May I have an American TV NewVista? I always wanted an American set that was colour and tube type to play with and use as my main TV Smile

Keep an eye out for a GE Porta-colour then Nathan. A couple of generations of them (1960s-1980s) were valve sets. I want to get one, since they are old valve colour sets, and apparently relatively easy to find (though I've yet to spot one on EBay US).

For anyone interested in photos of my collection, take a look at my website. I have too many of the flippin' things!

On your iPad, open the photo you took in the photos App,
tap the arrow that appears on one of the toolbars,
and emailing out the photo is an option, as is facebooking it, etc.

Some of those options may only appear conditionally,
ie. iOS knows if you have an email account set up properly or not,
and may not provide options that are not configured to use.

Had a reason to download "Green Door" recently - definitely a class above "Singin' the Blues", though I had both on the brain at about the same time. "Green Door" has more original lyrics, better progression, and a classic jive piano solo. Sounded pretty good on the juke box at the local milkbar!

Here's one I did have:

Also the only CRT I ever appreciated.
It's running from my car lighter socket.
It was a loaner from my Sister, that I later learned,
was sold in a garage sale for $7.

"Had a reason to download "Green Door" recently"

I bought what seemed like the official sheet music from ebay hoping it would have the piano embellishments of Bob Davie - writer & pianist - but as usual these were not present Perplexed Also they had it in Bb while I'm told it was in key of A on record. The exciting piano fill in middle of song seems to be a progressive building of an A7 (or Bb7) chord over 2 octaves.
