not sure if i posted this already, but i picked this up in Boston maybe 6 weeks ago. All the trips are starting to become a blur, lol.
some bastard from the golf channel tried to up the asking price and have the guy hold the set for him. THe owner god bless his him, told him to get lost, a buyer from NJ, gee wonder who that could be, was already on his way up. Thye had one bad ass chrysler in the driveway, looked like a 72 newport.

Some people appreciate the fact your driving five or six or 7 hours each way to get their set, others, like the pompous ass i dealt with tonight suddenly think their broken $15 tv is suddenly worth $5k cause u wouldn't drive all this way unless it was worth a lot right?




$40, works great.

Not a bad set, but definitely pretty uninspiring. xl-100 circa 1977. Mint shape, but you can tell what the future was going to bring. Extremely light, flimsy cabinet, u can tell that they were definitely cutting corners by this time. Paid $40 it was close by, so i am not complaining.

here's what it looks like now, I'm telling you, someone must be breaking in here and disposing of their unwanted tv's.



Got 18 sets now, and tons of work to do.

Wow, you have two things I really wish I had:

1. Lots of great looking sets
2. Lots of room for lots of great looking sets

Nice collection. It looks like all you need is some advertising posters on the wall and a salesman to hit up everyone that walks in the door.

Hey thanks for the compliments. Glad u liked it.


Once i'm done with everything, which should take me several months i'm going to make a youtube channel and take tons of videos of them working and share them for people who want to see sets like that. Kind of a virtual tour.
