charlie brown

well, last week it was Rudolph, now its Peanuts. I revert back to a kid whenever this is on. It always brings me back. This "Stockholm" is my daily watcher now. I picked it up last year thinking i would use it for parts for the one my parents bought new because the owner told me it had been sitting in her basement for 30 years and i didnt have alot of hope for it......Stupid me. Its an earlier model than the other one, but its been a blast fixing it up. The reward is i get to watch this stuff on it ,Happy Holidays.

Psychiatric help 5 cents - is that a hint for your fellow TV collectors?

Happy Holidays!

Nice set! Glad you decided to fix it instead of parting it. Has a very nice picture on it. Cabinet is nice too. Like the hang-tag. I think Old tv nut is right, we all need a little psychiatric help. Started with one set and now have 16. Half are color roundies!
I remember Woolco dept stores. There were of the Woolworth family of stores. Went out of business in the late eighty's or early nineties I believe right along with Zody's and Two Guys and Pic & save, Whitefronts and The Treasury. I lived in So California.

after i posted that picture, i thought about the psychiatric diagnoses of this. I guess it doesnt really matter, there are worse things in the world to be obsessed with. After i got involved with this again last year, i now have 5 good CRTs in the basement of my house and a friend of mine asked me if i was planning on living to be 2oo years old.....I am really glad i found this website, i used to think i was a lone nut case.

Talking

My health insurance would still make me pay the co-pay even if the doctor only charges 5 cents.

There is a Pick & Save supermarket chain that operates here in Wi....could they be related?
