I'd like to have one of the roundies. Anyone seriously coming to Florida?
I'd also love to have that blonde Zenith AM-FM table radio someone's holding.
Have they got any 21", or, 19" BW picture tubes for tube portables?

This is fascinating.
What is the story on this?
I think hearing about the find, tales about traveling to, what it was like loading up, etc would make interesting reading.

Great haul!!!!!!!! I see several smaller Japanese tube type portable color sets. I think those are getting rare these days. I'm hoping to get hold of one of the 7" Panasonic color sets, or maybe a 12" when one shows up.

I have often daydreamed about a find like that...no, their can't be many more situations left like this. I sure wish it were closer, it would have been great just to see it in person. Many thanks for sharing the experience with us all!
