Kinda cool looking Philco 9" set. I might stick that in my computer room, next to my monitor... Will match my 70s room perfect.



Of course, here's a tube color Zenith.. This thing probably hasn't seen 120 volts since Jimmy Carter was prez (Judging by the dust, and how far buried it was in the basement.) I swear, that's exactly how the picture came up, without touching a control! Consider it's taken in broad daylight too! If that doesn't convince you who built a good set.... Too bad the company's dead, or it would make a good ad!



I realized that I had forgotten to take a shot of an Olympic and a Motorola, until after I had pulled my truck back in. The Olympic looks vaguely "European"... Like a Grundig radio.

I also forgot to take a shot of a 23" Zenith B&W set in an early American maple cabinet. You can see a little of it in the Admiral color picture, and in the group shot below. It's a Space Commander 300. Has sound, no HV.



Right now, I've got all these sets parked in the garage of my rental house (My tenant is getting a break on her rent, so I told her the garage is MINE, lol)

However I can't keep them there forever, so if you see anything you'd like to have, or trade for... Send me a PM!
