Still nothing here...

Perhaps the deluge of inquiries has scared him off to Ebay...

It's a little weird how the edges of the picture are cropped off. But I just can't imagine anyone bored enought to fake vintage TV ads.

No reply as of yet

No replies here. I've got a hunch that this is fake. Just doesn't feel right . . .

Posting on Craigslist hasn't been pulled down yet . . .

Nothing of that sort on eBay in the area. Tried calling around to various local antique shops. I live a stone's throw away. I'm guessing he probably dropped off the face of the earth.

Still no reply. Looks like it might be fake. Sometimes fake ads are put on to phish for email addresses so they can send you crap.

I'm nearly positive this is fake. Just stumbled across a photo that looks like an uncropped version of the photo in the advertisement. Now what . . . ? Anybody to complain to this scum-bag about?

The old saying still stands: "If it looks or sounds too good to be true, it probably is." Oh well. I've got a solid 60 years to hunt down some rare sets; I know I'll run into one someday . . .

Curious eyes want to see, can you post it?

My money says it won't happen (though I hope it will).

yes I think its a hoax . Many emails but no answer. Need to get Jerks like that off the net!!!!

CAUTION: I think that's a picture of my set. That doesn't mean for sure it's a scam, but I recognize the 1/2 sun-faded setup controls insert piece, which came from a set that I junked out.

I thought the bright orange on the top might be the Sylvania neon sign at ETF, but I checked my photos, and that shines on the faces of the CT-100s there.

I just talked to the gentelman who listed this on the phone. He told me that his grandfather was a TV repair man. His price doubled but I told him I still was still interested in it. He says when he turned the set on it had sound and static on screen. An acquaintance of an acquaintance is headed to his place to pick the set up. It looks like this was not a hoax.
