I spent a few hours at the Antique Radio Club of Illinois RadioFest this morning and took a bunch of pictures. There were so many TVs I figured I'd post them here and the radios over in the antique radio forum (http://www.videokarma.org/showthread.php?t=248513).
What I found really amazing is that almost all the TVs were very collectable models, in good condition at reasonable prices. I stuck to my guns and didn't buy any...
Here we go!
Here's the first set I spied - a "Super Crosley"

Next up, an early RCA combo that was already sold. Anyone know the model # ? I couldn't find it at tvhistory.tv

Here's a cool "Chinese" Stromberg Carlson

Tele-Tone - sorry for the bad focus

RCA 621TS - $1,500 asking price. So tempting, but I couldn't swing that kind of $$

Philco Safari - $295

Motorola 7" suitcase set, fully restored - $300

I'd love to get one of these clocks someday - $295

Not bad for a "radio" fest :D
