ETF 2024 auction rsults?

[dtvmcdonald]

I put this here rather than in Clubhouse because most items sold usually fit here.

Does somebody have a list of the things sold at the ETF convention auction and their prices? In the past there was such a list.

There will be a video soon I hear. Turnout was light and the usual AV guy was out sick so it's taking longer than usual. There were no big ticket items. I think the highest was around $300 for a 60s Zenith roundie. Only about 15 items were auctioned.

Here are some photos. There was some action on the other roundie, Philco 7008 and magic eye.

Personally, the only item I one was 1,600 NOS tubes for $20.














Team effort restoring a Predicta.

Light turnout is bad news. I registered but could not attend due to a bum leg and a house move.

At least I didn't miss much.

I think the black metal CTC-11 I won for $325 was the most expensive thing that sold or close to it.
I think one of the biggest things that hurt turnout was the forecasted rain...Which at least on Saturday never materialized and only a very brief drizzle occurred. Driving through rain the last 40 minutes on Friday and for part of Saturday night in Indiana was interesting... Especially Friday where I mistakenly thought my trailer running lights weren't working and was paranoid about getting rearended.

If turnout was better and some better items came up for auction it would have been a great meet....I can't complain I got what I wanted and got rid of what I wanted (at least mostly...I still can't believe nobody bought or bid on the 19A11).

No, I don't think he did.

Here are a couple videos I shot while there.

No, I haven't attended for a few years. I might again since some health problems that made travel too difficult have been fixed.

I wonder who bought the home made test jig that was in a white Zenith CCII table model cabinet... Yesterday I bought the same cabinet Zenith TV missing the back and would really like to find a back.
