"...Set"


A TV set,...a radio set stereo-set. The term lived for over a century. They began with mid-19th century telegraph sets as in set ups. There were no 1970's 8-Track sets no Cassette sets certainly no VCR sets. Although early home computers came as sets to be built. They were not called Computer sets.
I wonder though if the term hadn't vanished somewhere in the late 1960's.
What would things be now?
Would you buy an iPhone Set a new App Set a Flat screen Set a Computer Set or a Virtual Reality-Set? 
See 1940's table radio set above,...which I remember using. I played with a Scrabble Set too
