View Full Version : early 50s motorola in Coxs Creek, NY jpdylon 12-18-2006, 11:34 PM 20 bucks opening bid. Needs grill cloth, but doesn't look too terrible otherwise http://cgi.ebay.com/Late-1940s-or-1950s-motorola-television_W0QQitemZ220061974789QQihZ012QQcategory Z3638QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem http://i5.ebayimg.com/04/i/000/7f/5a/4e22_1.JPG fujifrontier 12-19-2006, 12:17 AM http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Motorola-wood-standing-television-parts-tubes_W0QQitemZ120064326172QQihZ002QQcategoryZ3638 QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem and look at THIS poor thing jpdylon 12-19-2006, 12:18 AM http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Motorola-wood-standing-television-parts-tubes_W0QQitemZ120064326172QQihZ002QQcategoryZ3638 QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem and look at THIS poor thing I was looking at that. its been relisted twice, and the guy didn't get the clue the first time to lower the price. I've re-threaded a few CRTs and its a PITA. If it wasn't so beat, $40 might be worth it, otherwise...no fujifrontier 12-19-2006, 12:20 AM i REALLY like that bezeled look though fujifrontier 12-19-2006, 12:21 AM http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Motorola-TS-23B-TV-Television-Set-Wood-Cabinet_W0QQitemZ230065508797QQihZ013QQcategoryZ36 38QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem must have played a mega bass note jpdylon 12-19-2006, 12:23 AM I hate it when that happens. its usually due to some mother letting her kid loose and he pokes and tears with curiosity :gigglemad: at least the opening bid is reasonable fujifrontier 12-19-2006, 12:24 AM OH!!!!! I FORGOT TO MENTION i found some Motorola "TV Serving Trays" for $22 at an antique store... in box but price seemed a little steep. they were rectangular and had designs on them. jpdylon 12-19-2006, 12:31 AM now if you could find a 50s tabletop with TV cart on wheels and some old school TV dinner boxes, make a display and you'd be set... fujifrontier 12-19-2006, 12:37 AM i want my RCA working first jpdylon 12-19-2006, 12:38 AM I've been reading about this RCA, but I have yet to see it. What kinda RCA is it, from when? Color or B&W? Pics please! :D jpdylon 12-19-2006, 12:41 AM NEVER MIND! Found it....yeah that's a keeper. fujifrontier 12-19-2006, 12:56 AM damn right, the mailman came asking about it (it's still sitting on the porch). he was like "lol i notice you have this TV here and was wondering what you guys were going to do with it, sell it or something?" and i was like "im going to restore it." he looked kinda disappointed. and no, the TV isn't being rained on. the porch never gets wet, and this is a pretty hefty TV to cart off. i just want the thing working so i can take it to my fabulous (soon) new apartment |
