Great looking sets. I don't have the room for anything that big anymore (I moved to a one-bedroom apartment over five years ago from a three-bedroom house with a basement), but I still like looking at the pics of these older entertainment units. I like those big solid-wood cabinets and the great pictures and sound these things have when they are working; however, one thing I don't like about three-way consoles, never have, is the fact that many if not most of them route the audio output from the radio and phono through the TV's audio section. This means, of course, that the TV sound must be working normally for anything to be usable. If the television audio is out of commission for any reason, the entire system is rendered useless until the TV sound is restored. Give me separate components any day (as my own entertainment system is configured). If it weren't for the foregoing, I'd probably be bidding on at least one of those sets, probably the Zenith (like Doug, I like Zenith TV and radio quite a bit, but because of my space limitations, I have had to limit my collection to small radios).

BTW, good luck to any of our own members who may be bidding on any of those 3-way sets. They are all very nice-looking sets, the Zenith being, IMHO, the best-looking of the bunch.
