A bonus of CRTs!

Forgive me for asking, but if you find a 12VP4 I'll be very interested.

These are seriously cool however!


I really wish I could have gone on this trip.
I haven't seen a store like that since the early 80's.

These photos are incredible, what a gold mine you have found! I would do about anything to have the set on the shelf here with the green halo. If anyone is passing by chicago, I'll give you a good buck for it to make it worth your while!

This is truly a fantastic find, there can't be many more like this left out there.

I've been wondering where all the vintage color portables went to, now I know.

It would make a nice belated B-day gift too!

Wowww ... You dudes are seriously lucky. I'd be in heaven in there.

Next stop: find a warehouse full of DTV converters! Yikes!

I see some familiar sets too. In one shot, the portacolor looks exactly like mine. And there is a ctc-121J colortrak which I had at one point as well as a late 80's 19" XL-100 (the type with a knob for volume but an LED read-out tuner) which looks just like one I fixed for someone a few years back.

Must be killer to find NOS tv's like this! Very sweet stuff indeed.

Uploaded a total of 44 pictures, I figure it's easier to link to the folder than to link all the pictures here.
Feel free to link anything you find interesting to this thread though.

Amazing! Stunning!
The Mother Load of the year so far!
Any NOS black and white consoles that need a new home - they are welcome with me?

Congratulations!

Heres a video of another room, this room the ceiling collapsed and most of the sets are covered.
