rca G-2000 on ebay
 

Even though its not my favorite cabinet, its a unique item and Id like to own one. This one is close enough for me to pick up, but considering how the seller advertized his auction (featured item, highlighted etc.), He probably wants a fortune for it. For those of you who one one of these, should there be a model tag on the back? If so, it looks like this one is missing it.

If he's going to have a reserve, he could at least include a single picture that's in focus.

at the very least, a picture of the set working would have been nice too. Seems pretty nicked up for an "unused" tv. Poor storage location???

Deja Vu AGAIN!!
 

I THINK this is the SAME 2000 that was on here and the 'bay a year or 2 ago.

Remember-- I offered $150 or so, and was laughed at and such by the seller, and he said none of us knew a "good tv" when we see it?? And he threatened to destroy it and dumpster it??

It WAS supposed to be a "demo model", just as this one says. nd it WAS in

WIsconsin, too!!

Isn't there one of these on display at Graceland? I actually like the mod styling.

RCA 2000,please dont start up the stuff about this set again,like last year,it IS a demo,ive seen it in person and seen it work that one time he plugged it in,its just been pushed around in storage a lot,this guy purchase taylor's stored inventory,he had lots of nice mint sets,this is the last piece,i think its worth it for what he is asking.

I sold mine for $350 to member roundscreen this past spring. I would put that set a couple notches higher.

And I've got my eye on this thread should anything spiral out of control.....

Here are a couple of screen shots of the g2000 I bought off Tim.
I have most of the caps replaced and the tuner-remote circuits working.
This is one cool set and I think it was worth every penny I paid for it.

Don't these things have a lot of "Gee-Whiz" stuff in 'em that is about impossible to make work if it goes south? Did they use a special CRT ?

I had a really mint-condition one that I sold on eBay about 4 years ago. It had the usual cracked tuner sockets, but otherwise was good. I had to put another tube in it when I sold it because the neck had smashed against the wall in the '94 quake. All I got was $50, but that was 4 years ago. I was disappointed, as I had hoped for $250.

This is ABSOLUTELY a significant historical set, and needs to be preserved. As far as cash value, they're huge, hard to move, and VERY HEAVY. Like any other collectable, it's worth exactly what the highest bidder wants to pay.

My CT-100 no sale was proof of that statement.......

I say go for it Doug! If you are going to start that museum, then this one is a must.

Either nobody wants it, or everyone is waiting to snipe it 4 seconds before the auction ends. Id like to go after this one. Space is the major decision factor now. I still havnt found a nice spot for that ctc16 I brought home a few weeks ago.
The museum concept will definitly be happining sometime down the road. All these sets wont be stuck in a basement. They need to be in a better more presentable environment before they all get thrown away when Im gone.

I do have a question about these sets::

WHY is it that ALL of these 2000'S(including mine) always seem to have the corners nicked up??


Is it that they "stick out like a sore thumb" and so are prone to damage??

This is the exact TV I was going to buy 2 or 3 years ago.
 

I found it on ebay before I know of Audiokarma and I wanted it so bad I couldn't stand it. At the time I had also found an owner's manual for the G2000 that was supposed to have come from Elvis' L.A. home. The seller of the manual claimed that Elvis loved high tech stuff and she could just imagine Elvis reading the manual. I kinda doubt Elvis would have looked through the manual but it is possible. I think another website mentioned a G2000 in Elvis' L.A. home being one of the sets Elvis blew out the picture tube with one of his guns. Could that have been the one Elvis saw Robert Goulet on? I had always heard Elvis disliked Goulet and shot the TV when he came on. Being an Elvis fan made me want the G2000 all the more. To have all the accessories also was very enticing! I was bothered by the missing serial/model tag. I doubt those tags ever fell off much. I think they usually got ripped off and maybe for the wrong reason. I didn't buy it because on top of the $1000. he wanted for it I would have had to drive all the way up north and so I passed.

I hope one of you deserving gentlemen gets it! Please keep me in mind when you want to sell it in the future!

I hope the next owner will obtain the exact style verneer chip to repair that corner.
