It somehow doesn't bother me as much as all those 1929 Philco Predictas that show up. Charles electroking 09-16-2008, 12:38 PM It's a pleasing wrong, though... It somehow doesn't bother me as much as all those 1929 Philco Predictas that show up. Charles And those 'nearly 100 years old' superheterodyne radios with octal tubes. gadget73 09-16-2008, 01:46 PM That roundie Zenith "entertainment center" is probably fairly rare. It would have been rather expensive new, and by now there are a lot less of them existing. WISCOJIM 09-18-2008, 12:11 AM Oh, Dear God....This is why I say only those of us who KNOW & CARE about these things should be allowed to have them... You would at least think that if it was in working condition as they say they would know it wasn't a color set. Could this be a scammer of some sort? He hasn't answered any of my inquiries. zenithfan1 09-18-2008, 05:43 PM He hasn't answered me either, watch out for this one. Maybe a few more people should try to get an answer from him, I'd be interested in what he has to say if he replies. radiotvnut 09-18-2008, 06:24 PM http://rochester.craigslist.org/clt/840418374.html This is a new one on me and I'd love for something like this to happen. It's always "We have a 1960's TV" that actually turns out to be a 1991 Goldstar. Or, their 1930's radio turns out to be a mid '80's boombox. On the "color" set: No one is going to fall for that unless they are totally clueless about TV's. I mean, give me a freaking break! It's a B&W console from the '50's that he'd be wise to take whatever someone offers him. John Marinello 09-18-2008, 06:39 PM He hasn't answered me either, watch out for this one.

Hey Mark, If you like this set, I know where you can get one that's in better condition, AND it's much closer to you! |
