Dave, interested in a (modern) black plastic Akai integrated TV/VCR, with remote? TV works, VCR needs work...

I'll pass on that. I have enough of them. Just the Akai camera/vtr combo. It takes me back to my first days in television.

Hi Dave ,
I have not yet made a decision about the Akai , but you have my word that if I do decide to part with it , I will give you the first option on it . I have been trying to research it and all I've found was an advertising brochure for it for sale for $90 and a complete working unit for $1900 . In my opinion , since this looks to be missing at the very least it's companion TV , and with the extremely high chance that it doesn't work , I wouldn't think it's worth much beyond being a sentimental display piece and maybe some kind of trade would be better than a cash sale . Anyway , when I do decide whether it stays or goes I'll let you know and if you still want it then we will make some kind of deal . So I got no local takers on the rusty Motorola ? I'm not looking forward to having to have to bin it , but it may come to that next week as the next storage container is due to be opened then . |

That Sony video walkman is rather cool. I'm half tempted to claim it, but I hear they tend to be non-working, and the price I'd pay for a paper weight walkman may not be worth your time/effort.

Wow.What a grab.So far in my life I got a chance to clean out 4 shops .The last one was about 20 years ago.
I wonder if the heads on the Akai VT VTR are still in-tacked.Search this forum and ARF for threads on these. |

Any chance of shipping parts of "rustymoto" Obviously not the whole set, but perhaps cram the chassis, knobs, back, plastic screen, cord, & handle in a flat rate box and let it take a bumpy ride my way? (couldnt hurt it much NOW)
Just curious..... Ide save that CRT if it tests good, wish i was closer.. SR |

Thank You for the response . I don't want to sound mean or lazy with the "No Shipping" thing , it's just that I know I'd never get around to sending it due to being the world's busiest retiree . I am (was) really hoping some local collector would stop by here , take all the stuff I want gone for free , and distribute it to fellow collectors to keep it from being trashed . There are 5 small Sony TVs , the rusty Motorola , and a whole bunch of Zenith TV modules among the stuff I rescued from being dumpster fodder and my only motivation here is (was) to see the stuff used if it would be helpful to anyone . There are other things I haven't yet listed here for free , an old heathkit Oscope and an old RCA color bar generator among them , and if the stuff ain't gone by summer's end it will end up in the dumpster as I prepare for next spring's downsizing (selling a 4 bedroom house for something smaller & easier for an old guy to maintain) . Sorry to sound so dour , but it's either local pickup for free , or the dumpster , for this stuff and I really do NOT want to see it binned after I went to the trouble of saving it in the first place ..... |

Hehehe, ya cant blame a guy for trying.. I completely understand where youre coming from, I too am on the brink of downsizing my mess and sweating the possibility of having to ship stuff myself. Gee i wish i was closer, lots of stuff my moto could use there in that rusty corpse.. I hope someone comes to their rescue before the dumpster finds em.. CRTs (good ones) and parts for our tvs are getting scarce fast...
Thanks anyhow.. SR |

Why not load your vehicle with as much as you can slightly before dumpster time and show up at an antique radio club swapmeet, sell what you can and donate the rest to the club? It keeps it from being destroyed, and you don't have to rely on this tiny slice of the collector community to visit you...Heck, you might even make some money.

Too bad you cant come down to Kutztown Sept. I would take the Motorola as well and one of those clickers for my 1973 SC600 Zenith.
