Some nice sets; but, where do they come up with these insane prices?

I cant get over how much they want for that beat up rectangle RCA.

That's nothing, look what the same seller want's for this rusty chassis!

ctc38/40? fresh from the bottom of a lake. I would lave to have that as a restore project. I could make that work and look new. Would make some great before/after pictures.

Yikes !!

That's ridiculous. I see perfectly working TV's that age selling for about half that price.

Check this out, $1500 bucks for a system 3 in one of those silver plastic corner cabinets:

And quoted from the auction, he claims to have bought the set several years before it was made --

"I personaly purchased this TV in 1972 for $1,373.00":smoke:

I don't know when the first ones of those were, 1979 maybe? And I'm not sure if they were all system 3 sets, or there were some of the last ccII's with the vertical chassis in that cabinet. All the ones I've ever seen were system 3s. But I do know they didn't have them back in '72 in the flat chassis era.

I think those came out, first using the upright CCII chassis, around '76-'77. The cabinet style continued to be used, with various system 3 designs, up until the mid '80's. Even if he shaved $1K off his price, I think he'd still have a hard time getting rid of it. I've had several over the years and I don't think I ever paid more than $10 for one. I remember getting one from the local Zenith shop as they were about to toss it. I don't know if lightning got it or if it burned up on it's own; but, the 9-160 deflection module was burnt to a crisp.

where do they come up with these insane prices?


Crazy Eddie's, his prices are insane!
