Thanks for the excellent pictures Wayne.

The images of the Raytheon color TV give proof to my claim to fame: "I once had this rare TV in my possession for a period of 22 hours!"



Of course I never owned it, but I was glad to help the museum by picking it up from the donor's home in the west Chicago suburbs and transporting it to the museum. I've been having leg and back troubles, but Steve McVoy scrambled and somehow had people waiting at the home when I arrived that were able to move this beast from the basement and into my van.

Your pictures show 5 men carefully removing the huge set from my van (with me standing there in amazement). Surprisingly it took only two older gentlemen to wrestle the set up the stairs and three to get it into my van in Illinois. I hope they aren't still suffering.
