Boy, isn't that something! Talk about a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Has the estate been cleared of vintage sets and equipment yet?

I'd love to see a photo of such a tuner (the tuning mechanism, that is.)

These articles about my Dumont RA-103 and RA-113 sets include various photos of their continuous tuners:

Estate Hoard, Day 4
Who would have thought: a couple months have passed since the big TV hoarder’s estate sale off in Rocklin. Three entire days of digging, loading, and clearing out nearly every TV set, picture tube, and related part there… that there was yet more nestled in the back of the estate company’s storage locker.
I just received a call from the owner of the estate company, who had my contact information from the first event. She says that they were planning on having another event this upcoming weekend, and in their digging had discovered that there were lingering vestiges of the TV collector estate. All I knew was that there was a Predicta in the lot- the rest was pretty vague. I had no idea that I was walking into two more truckloads of TV sets. Honestly, it came at a bad time for me, both in the regard of manpower and finances. I tried calling a friend to pass on the Predicta which I thought they might be interested in, but it turns out that they were going to be too wound up to be able to make it out for a look. It was up to me. I had to pull some strings, but in the end we were able to make a deal on all the remaining sets, as well as a very unique Sony Videocorder open reel analog tape recording machine. Pics are huge, so here are the image links: http://stellartv.files.wordpress.com...9/img_1870.jpg http://stellartv.files.wordpress.com...9/img_1869.jpg http://stellartv.files.wordpress.com...9/img_1867.jpg http://stellartv.files.wordpress.com...9/img_1871.jpg http://stellartv.files.wordpress.com...9/img_1868.jpg Just like the earlier loads, some parts sets, and some restorable sets. I really like the Dumont RA-103 tabletop the most out of all the sets in this lot. Gorgeous. They're all gorgeous. Last edited by StellarTV; 09-20-2014 at 07:47 PM. |

On that Sony VideoCorder, AV-3650 1/2" EIAJ format this model is B&W. Common educational/industrial videotape recorder. This one was capable of a sort of editing. Not bad decks at all and that one looks to be in great shape.
Let me know if you want any tape for it. |

What a fantastic score! There seems to be a lot more interest in vintage TVs in the US than there is in Australia. Maybe I should try to get work over there when I graduate. Any good marketing jobs going?
