Free Packard-Bell combo: MPLS CL
 

Looks clean...the Crosley with it not quite so: http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/an...808843772.html

Is that puppy color? I would love to get my hands on that set! Too bad im in California.. :(
That Crosley just looks dusty. Mabye salvagable.

I'd put money on it being color, that's a nice looker too.

It's really hard to tell, but I'm voting B&W. Note the very narrow control panel, which was common on the Packard Bell Astronaut B&W sets. Packard-Bell was one of the last mfrs to make nice full-feature B&W sets long after the big names only produced bare-bones B&W consoles.

WOW, that is a nice set... With all you collectors near MNPLS, somebody better grab it!

Hard to believe a combo that nice is B&W?? I still think it might be color. Screen looks like one of those Madesoshitty "blue diamond" CRTs.

BTW, I love how "being from the digital age" is now an excuse for being stupid. Just think, I can turn on a tube-tv (even fine-tune it), start a car with a carburetor AND log onto the interweb with a computer! That must make me jean-u-ous! :drool:
