Thanks Phil (and everyone), but I'm certain she has NO intention of restoring it. It worked when it was put down there twenty years ago, she simply likes that it's there, period. After meeting a host of pat rack types over the years I quickly sized this one up as a hard case. She has no issues with over ten grand each year in lost rent on a large apartment one bedroom of which houses her magazine collection. I will follow up though for awhile. Since these roundies are beautiful on the INSIDE and I don't think I'll ever have more than two or so I'm not in too much of a hurry. Almost no one knows these matter yet, whereas everyone's known about radio collectibles for a long time. So even though they are rare I figure I can find one or two that are easier to catch John H. |

I remember we had a mid-late 60's RCA console set my dad drug home when he worked at the old RCA plant in Bloomington. He had the back off of it about as much as we watched it. One day, smoke started bellowing out the back and burst into flames. It was replaced with a Zeinith later that day (or a day or two later.) Flyback? I dunno. I wanted to get some marsh mellows...

Are there any more desireable 60's color roundies to look for, are is it 'grab one when you find one'? I put another post up asking but no responses yet.

The older, the more desirable, I guess. But roundies are getting old enough & scarce enough now that about ANY of 'em is a Target of opportunity...
