I would have to say...for ME at least...it was THE most productive one--since the beginning one--in 2003 !!
I did good selling in the auction AND ALSO...brought home a REAL prize...a Philco 48-700 tv, a set I have wanted for MANY years...but they ALWAYS seem to "get away" from me-- This one did NOT do so...and it has been RESTORED , some time ago too !! This set is like a Pre-war set--with it's "line powered HV supply" (AKA "Brute force HV supply") !!
Along with that...I filled the van with stuff form the silent auction and a coupe of sets brought to me by others..
In total...I brought back:
The Philco 48-700 set.
A sylvania cold 23" BW tube set (from a collector in wisconsin, got a ride here )
A Sears cold table model metal color 19 or so inch tube set (brought in return for my picking up a CRT for a member here )
An RCA "tin can" cold set ( my 3rd one..)
A Philco 1957 or so cold BW tube console
A Conar 19" Metal cold BW set--in GREAT physical shape..
I had to leave a Zenith CC SS console there--no room--I will return and pick it up soon.
SO all told...a GREAT haul!! and ALSO nice...to have "been there" to witness the birth of a ""new" CRT, at the rebuild shop. (Status of it is still unknown, as there was no actual way to "set test" it at the time).
