What a great set! Hope someone in the forum gets it so we can watch his/her progress with restoration.

We had that exact set when I was little back in to early 70s. I found a picture from Christmas 72 with that tv. Wish I could find one now that was close.

yup. I think its another member here: oldtvman

Guess he hasn't seen thread.

I'm guessing this may end up at 700+ judging by the bids so far

right now I'm the currrent high bidder, but like always that will change

nowadays your best bet with ebay is to bid at the last possible moment, and bid the highest you would posssibly pay under the curcumstances.

hope someone here gets it and brings it back to life.

~$300, wow... that other 5 that closed recently didn't even break $100 and it had the nicer (IMO) speaker grille woodwork rather than grille cloth. Guess the brightener wasn't worth the risk??

It was worth the risk to me. BUT- the shipping was NOT worth it!!

I believe that was the "deal killer" on that one. Just too far away for mos tof us.
