Here is the rest of the story....

The nice guy that had the sets is named Jim, he's moving and sadly, the beautiful 1963 house that his dad built is being torn down. It's located in Northfield Il, about 20 minutes from where I work. I left work a little early so I could meet the guy before he left for the night. If you noticed in the first posting it said for two b/w tvs, and yes there are two.
This is the funny part, The '59 RCA somewhat mini console with screw in legs was upstairs. I asked him how much longer he was going to be there so I could try to get someone over there to get it, he said about three more days and he was sad to throw it in a dumpster. I said dumpster??! well, lets go up and see it. Believe it or not, I stuffed it into the back seat of my 1993 Mazda Protege clown car! I said to myself as I was leaving, man, my ol lady is gonna kill me when I get home. So....I got an Idea. This is also how I know for sure I have the "Tv sickness" I brought it back to the middle school I work at in Lake Forest and hid it in a closet under the stairs and covered it with a blanket. I don't think she does but I'll know today if she reads my posts He He. It can't stay there for long but at least it isn't in the dumpster. If anyone is interested in it, please PM me. He also threw in a 1950 Sonora Am radio/automatic turntable and the best part, all this was free!!
