Hey guys many of you may remember a few months back a big deal about a collectors estate in Richmond. Well, the family is trying to sell the estate and the remainder is getting close to going in the garbage. CHEAP prices... we're talking almost giving them away. Come save them! I have an eye on the maple RCA in number 9, I may have to go back for it! If interested, send me a private message and I'll give you the sellers number.

There are a few more that I missed but you get the idea. Tons of sets that if not rescued get tossed. Please help save them! I can't take them all!

This thread reminds me of something from my childhood. Hale's Department Store in downtown San Jose had a sale to clear out all of the televisions they had taken in as trade-ins. They ran a big ad in the newspaper...all of the sets were priced at $5.00 & $10.00. The parents of the 2 kids across the street bought each kid a set, a beautiful GE console and a big Admiral table model with a bakelite cabinet. Of course each set did not work so their parents called the TV repairman. He gave both sets the death sentence...they needed picture tubes. I don't recall what happened to the TV's but I do remember they did not get repaired. Even though they remained on the blink, I was so jealous they both had televisions in their bedrooms.

Wow, a Dumont Royal Sovereign! I wonder where the trim and parts went? These were the largest direct view B&W sets ever made, with a 30" crt. These used the bonded metal to glass picture tubes and Dumont had a terrible time keeping the air out...they ended up retrofitting most with a smaller tube, a 27" if I recall. -C

I would rather have one of those older sets working-use it to see old shows on-but use it as a base for the newer flatscreen TV.Best of BOTH worlds! |
