That GE looks like it's been sitting in someone's back yard!

Funny your camera should go black& white on ya, but mebbe it's from taking pics of all this retro stuff that does it. The wagon to the left of those sets looks like a late '50s Caddy or something... :scratch2:

:lmao:I would like to think its more of a "Munsters "type thing:D:lmao:

You are so right!

I found an RCA like that, I think it's a 730? Mine was the same story, it had seen a flood long ago, and the radio was missing. The crt was good and the chassis, which had stayed high and dry, found a good home.

The RCA is a 9TW333... I have one. It's one of the early ones which has a 78 RPM turntable below, and a 45 under the lid. That's a very nice set, so it's worth restoring the cabinet if the wood structure isn't too far gone.

I find it hard to believe that a Cavalier could fit a dogfood can--never mind a console of that magnitude. :ntwrthy: What a packer you are! (ptoo-ptooey) What a packer you are! (Ptooo! Ptoo Ptooooeey!!)

(As if you needed it this is from the old joke about "If you can park that car in that half space I'll..... :D )

I remember having to dismantle and remove two Wurlitzer model 40 tone cabinets (40x36x27 inches housing some nice-looking amp iron on shelves behind two 15"s and two 12"s.) This was at a remote church in a small town with no help. I crammed the contents of these dismatled cabinets--amps and drivers removed, and the cabinets completely dismantled--into the back of an '80 Plymouth Horizon fordor car. I just barely got it all in there--dismantled as it was!!.... :rolleyes: :D
