I've been looking for a nice combo unit with doors over the TV. I figure this would be nice in my living room so that I can have two vintage TV sets without it looking too much like a vintage appliance store, that is until I wanted to show my vintage TV friends.
Zeniths are my favorite, and top-of-the-line SC ones even more so. My girlfriend has even admired a similar set.
I would never want to pester someone for a set like that, just make sure they knew I wanted it if they ever parted with it. I know there are some you hate for doing that.
I'd trade, pay cash, maybe even haul some huge-ass Magnavox console up the stairs of an estate sale, among other items. I could try to throw a few bucks worth of modern-junk repair work your way. Recommend you for some vintage work to others. Try to sell some of your sets to Harry Poster. None of this really as a trade for the TV, just part of being a friend.
Of course, it is the end of January, record cold and I have bronchitis at the moment. Work takes up most of my day. I'd need to borrow a truck, since that kind of set doesn't just get tossed in the back of a car. But if the situation were so urgent (unknown to me) to get rid of it that it needed to be offered free on Craigslist for any fishtanker to ruin, I'd cash in some favors and get there the same day.
But if this means you'll have to call my cell phone twice in a week, don't trouble yourself. Craigslist postings are no doubt easier.
So let me know if you see anything that matches that earlier description, ok?
Thanks.
