Eric is making a joke of course. But he may not be to far off. The "Sanford" model specs are: Height: 37¼ w/legs attached (remove these before loading). Width:29 1/8" (allow for side knobs). Depth:27 3/8" (may include tube cap). So measure your Mini's rear storage and see if the set will fit either just sliding in or on its non-knob side ect. Take a blanket to protect it from marring the TV or your car. AND be careful of the picture tube. Make sure the Chassis is secure in the cabinet. Take along a buddy to help if needed. Best of luck.

Reminds me of some comedian when I was a kid. He basically had one joke; in this instance he would say:

"In America, TV fit inside car. In Russia, car fit inside TV!"

Sounds like Russian comedian Yakov Smirnoff. Another of his jokes: "In Russia we only had two TV channels. Channel One was propaganda. Channel Two consisted of a KGB officer telling you: Turn back at once to Channel One."

I work in that area (fairfax) and "might" be able to arrange a pickup and ride home.

I dont understand I thought the poster got it and took all the pics?

It would be good to know if the CRT is any good. (other than the cataract of course).

I just received a very nice letter from Irene, (the seller)

The set is available, I suggested she post some pictures of the chassis and tube and such.

She seems like a really nice person and has become interested enough in old sets to do some research and look for more.

She knew the term "Necked" meaning the CRT had a busted neck, however I don't think that's the case here, more likely a cataract.

I told her how to check for that and explained that it could be fixed but not to try it herself because it's dangerous.

I'd love to have it myself to replace my beat up old "Anderson" but it's just too far away.

anybody here pop for that set?
