Can you tell us something about the person who collected/hoarded all these
TVs? Was he active in restoration? Carl

Yes. The obituary says a little bit about his life. Published in Fort Bragg Advocate-News on Jan. 16, 2014:
Quote:
I gathered out of context that, toward the end of his life he could barely get around, and as he told me, "could only be active 1 hour per day." He was a restorer at heart, but really could not do the work himself due to poor eyesight and failing health. A Gentleman, nonetheless. |

Well, I've got another set from this hoard restored -- the Raytheon P-301 7-inch porthole. This is a set I've always wanted, with its unmasked porthole screen, cool brass front panel, and faux alligator skin cabinet.
You can read more about it here: http://www.antiqueradios.com/forums/...p?f=3&t=268399 . But I'll post a few nice pictures of it here as well. |

Wow! That looks perfect from here. That set must have spent most it's life in storage. Very sharp!

Lucky You!!!! Our fearless leader told me about them yesterday, but, I didn't know there was knowledge of it here. I'm glad you rescured them. Wish I had a couple of them.

That Raytheon is almost beyond words. What a beauty. One day an O'scope woke up and it had grown up to be a television.

I'd be interested in any half inch reel to reel video recorders and associated "stuff".
Thanks. |
