Blonde Westinghouse on ebay
 

Fairly rare I think :scratch2:
Too bad he had to go and "smoke" it. :no: Hopefully, nothing serious was fried.

"I plugged it in once and the voice worked but it started smoking. This was in about 1986..... I wanted to put a fish tank in it, but never did."

I imagine his next attempt to sell may include:

"...I wanted to get $150 for it , but never did..."

I don't know, I was expecting this set to go over $150, almost any porthole set seems to be pretty rare. Although with local pickup only, he might not get any bidders for it, too far away for me.
