I'm tempted, sir, but I don't drive due to medical issues. In the spring, I'm going to start checking the yard sales, etc., in my area (we have a hell of a lot of them)--you never know when I might strike pay dirt! Also, I check e-bay daily, but nothing has ever struck my fancy that hasn't been over my price limit. Thanks for the invite, though.
By the way, there is one set I'd really be interested in getting, although I don't know how rare it is. As a kid, I had a GE 11" b@w portable-vintage 1963. From info I have gleaned on this site, I think it was the first to use the "compactron" tubes. The unit I am referring to was a plastic cabinet set, the front was off white, and the rest of the case came in different colors--ours was a red one, but I think I have seen grey and possibly brown as well. Anyone know how common these sets are, how much they usually go for, and how easy they are to fix. Ours was still working when my father turfed it out when me moved in 1979 (I don't think it had ever seen a repairman)--it had been demoted to a spare set by that time due to me getting a larger set in the mid 70's.
