Hello I think I have found old TV on website craigslist.

http://detroit.craigslist.org/mcb/zip/3025185758.html

Go see and tell me if this has the vacuum valves and I will get. Thank you. I am happy if yes!!! :banana::banana::banana::thmbsp:

Pretty good chance its a Tube set.

Yep, she's a tube set. Probably a 1967. Good luck, I hope you get it!

I like how he would LIKE it to go to someone who WANTS it...as a TV.

and he has "coffin" listed as many of the projects....LOL

Yes, I hope you or someone just as enthusiastic as you gets it, before it goes the way of the fishtank, or landfill. :)

Likely a T920 chassis. Excellent sound from these! The original 25BP22 was a soft CRT though, I changed a few.

It looks soft in the pic but may just need some TLC. Price is right though!

Yes it has vacuum valves and is a set to be displayed at the kings palace of the super elite in the public square full of glorious women.

Go get it, just dont drill holes in it or paint it silver.

On another note....look at the tags in this ad. (Tubes, Zenith, RCA, Vintage, Antique, GE, stereo, radio, hi-fi, )

Is this a scammer out to get phone numbers or email addresses?? The ad poster seems to know to much.....

That's a beautiful magnavox! Go get it! Well help you get it working. If it doesnt already

Come to think of it, I think I saw this ad about a year ago. That does seem weird. I have a few tube sets I would sell cheap if this is a scam or just don't pan out. Something seems gislan about this ad.

The ad is for real. I have been trying to dump this set for at least a year.

*Interesting history... Around 1989 I was forced to do some door-to-door selling for a HS fund raiser. I knocked on the door of this lil' old lady that lived on the street, and when she opened the door I spotted this TV in her living room playing the local news. Even in 1989, it was fairly rare to see a 20+ year old set in regular use.

Fast forward to 2010 or '11 (I forget). I went to an estate sale at the home and found this set in the basement, hooked up to an antenna and plugged in. Seemed odd, because the woman appeared to have no children/family and the basement was unfinished. Who/why would anyone do this?

So $5 later and the set was mine. Problem is, it really has no place in my collection and there isn't much room at the inn. Still I can't bring myself to let it get dumpstered or morphed into a dog bed (as someone has already asked to do).

Have yet to hear from this Sanjarali, but I recall he lives in Dearborn which is a reasonably close suburb.

A very nice looking set. If I was closer, I'd snag it. Sets like these used to bring top dollar as used sets back in the mid 70s. Would make a great daily driver. Hope someone here can save it. I'd hate to see it get tanked. :no:

For the longest time many of us thought Sand Jar Ali may have been a fictional troll.
I always really enjoyed his tortured spin on the language.
It would be neat if he is real and he pick this set up from you.
(sometimes I should really keep my mouth shut but its full of termites today)

BTW, with those tags i know it had to be someone who knew about tube sets or a scammer.

I would take it If it were close to central WI. I had a set close to that in 73. My first color set. It is 1968 vintage and tubes for sure.

im glad they still have it , and didnt toss it out . i talked to them about a month ago.i would have liked to have that tv set i grew up with one same model my dad first color tv in 68 he bought it from booker's apliance in south bend ,but i cant travel for that long of distance ,with my spine condition so go get it before some fish head tanks it.

If I didn't have a bad back I might consider it, but I don't live anywhere near Michigan so you are somewhat far away. :thumbsdn:
But I could really get it if I really wanted it, you know what I'm sayin'? :naughty:
But I digress...:sigh: Ive come to realize that if I'm not willing to make an effort to get something, then I probably really don't want it :yes:

So in situations like this when all you get are people telling you they'd take it but they won't make any efforts to come get it, you just need to cut your losses (pun intended) and cut the TV up and give the chassis (or any other metallic components which can be scrapped by a metal recycling center) to a less fortunate individual who can benefit from the scrap money. Considering todays economic conditions, there are many a people who could benefit from the gift of a scrap Magnavox TV chassis (or any other metallic chassis, such as but not limited to a Zenith or an RCA for example). The wood cabinet can be broken apart and stored for firewood so you can heat your home in the winter season. That means less energy waisted on natural gas to heat your home (or electric heat if your home does NOT have natural gas service). So you see, in the end, everyone wins :banana:

I had one just like this in '85 or '86. Used to stop by the Salvation Army across the tracks from the Kingdome. Always a basement-full of sweet Maggies and RCA's They're still there, but the vintage TV's have dried up, except for tired imported junk priced sky-high.

im working on a deal right now with the guy who had the zenith roundie on ebay who lives in three rivers, and he will deliver it to me if i build him a bar 48x32x80 from the style he's wanting its looking like tv plus cash , see what happened after rebuilding that tv cabinet gave me an idea on making some money and get a roundie same time ,he mentioned that he might gut the tv and make a bar out of it i told instead of doing that ill just make the bar and give me the tv plus cost of supplys and everyones happy.

Good times! I am able to make time with TV owner at last! He say busy time
:banana: he can see me and provide this TV for me. Can yo u tell me size? Brother will use automobile but TV owner say Do Not Try? :scratch2: f:scratch2:for because car is small size. This TV is grand! :thmbsp::thmbsp:

It's a console so you'll need a van or truck to get it. It has a 23" screen and is about 4 feet long, 2 feet deep and about 2 and a half feet tall. Good luck! Have fun with it.

And, uhh, you MIGHT wanna bring a couple-three STOUT fellows & a boy or 2 to help carry it...TVs CAN be very "Unwieldy", to say the least. I dunno how old you are, but I'm 55, & I DON'T much like liftin' heavy stuff anymore...Having had a stroke & a bad knee didn't help either.

Yes sanjarali, these tv's weigh at the least 80 lbs.
Hope you have help and a strong back. And like Zenithfan1 said, use a truck or van. You might destroy the tv, or car, or both for that matter if you dont have a truck. Uhaul can rent a cheap trick for like 20 dollars. It's well worth it. Good luck

Good god, how did this user become a moderator?

He's not. It's more BS. It's now changed to "Modulator" Very funny....I am one and don't advertise it. He really must be bored or something. Let's ignore it.

:banana:well in other news this post is about 3 weeks old i think ,and that bar i mentioned is getting close now to being finished . that means i going to have another 65 zenith roundie:banana:

We changed his status to something a bit more appropriate :yes:

It was either that, or make him an admin, which would be kinda like allowing an ebola-infected laboratory spider monkey to pilot a rocket-powered hydroplane......random and exciting, but not too smart :D

Ah, Gotcha lol

That I like. Maybe a common phrase in your neck of the woods but new to me.

Nope, totally made that one up!

Kamakiri, never short of a similie :D

Craigslist page gone

Taken?

(looking for a set as my Emmie died last month :-( )

How about another founder, for "founding" an old TV? :)
