I like the Pioneer TV but this is my opinion on why the reserve was not met. The Jenkins mechanical TV which sold in Jan for approx $3400 on ebay was missing the neon tube. See attached photo of the Jenkins on eBay. The Pioneer Mechanical TV appeared more incomplete; basically only the motor and Scanning disk missing the neon tube and associated mounting mechanism, the lens and lens frame. I talked to the seller of the Pioneer and told him if he might obtain a higher price if he could get a photo of a complete Pioneer set from another owner. The brochure of the pioneer does not show the complete set so its unknown what actually is missing. -Richard
