Don't see this big a restoration challenge often!

I don't usually see a set offered for sale in such poor shape, so I thought it worth a laugh/cry. Certainly reasonable as a parts set though.

Parts??

Umm... Rob, what parts are you seeing? I don't see a single usable thing on that wreck!

Strangely enough a fellow wrote me this week offering a 53 CBS Columbia set, he was in NYC not Georgia though.

Quoting the auction:

What if this was a Westinghouse 22" COLOR chassis?
Any takers?

If that were the case there would be a $2500 reserve on it and it would have met reserve.

Poor set-esteem

Yikes!
This guy also took some major hits on the Antique Radio Forum site. He states in his copy that the TV might
be set up as a display. PROPPED UP! might be more accurate. I think the joke is on us and this guy is having a pretty good laugh .
