A Silvertone B/W console, sitting on top of it was a Motorola bakelite set. both sets were from the early 50's and the Motorola still worked quite well as found. The Silvertone only needed minor repairs to get it going. I also once found a 1959 Admiral 21" B/W console on the curb a few blocks from home. there wasn't a scratch on the finish anywhere, and when I got it home I found it to be in perfect working order! These are the oldest sets I've ever found on the roadside, too.
