I had a great time at the ETF Convention. Here's what I scored...
Silvertone Suburbanite fiberglass portable (pink two tone).
2 RCA 16" round BW sets. One is in a metal cabinet, complete with rust and peeling paint (basket case number 1). The other is in a wood cabinet along with missing veneer and seperated substrate. Fortunately, the decals are intact and can be shot with toning laquor. This is basket case number two.
RCA mid to late 50's 21" floor model (VHF only)
Zenith bugeye portable.
12LP4 for the arch top Philco I have with the broken CRT. In fact the replacement is from an identical Philco and I have an extra yoke and ion trap.
I took three sets to display (the 3 shown in my avatar) and took home 8. I have concluded I am floor model deficient (my CTC-16 (I know, wrong thread) will fix that problem). My Halli is next on the list, if I ever see cash (yeah, right).
