Somebody needs to get this 400 lb beast (http://cgi.ebay.com/VINTAGE-Tube-GE-PROJECTION-TV-5-Band-RADIO-1949-50_W0QQitemZ260557387691). It's only $0.99 :D

Let's see....load up 400lbs of TV in Coburn, travel 3 miles, and load up 400lbs of Mallo Cups at Boyer's.......:scratch2: :yes:

This had to have been the top-of-the-line GE? I could have a lot of fun with it...but, oh, my back!

Oh my livingroom! That, my 600 pound aquarium, and my 1940ish cottage style once chewed by bugs house, and my livingroom would quickly move to the basement!

I wonder what year it really is?

Edit, I guess 2 answers are better than none!

That's a very significant set, and needs to be saved! That's a 901 or 901_A, if I'm not mistaken. I've only seen one other, and it's one of those "prewar-postwar" production sets. Has old-FM, and was probably going to be the '43 or '44 model, had the war not happened.

Definitely one of the heaviest sets, and has a glass screen. We had a joke about the model number; 901-A. It seems that 901-A is the police code for attempted suicide, and how appropriate since moving one of those sets is just that!
