Does this look like an antique to you?

Either this seller is an idiot, or they're a (very bad) scam artist.

if you are 15 years old then this is a antique. I saw his email address was gamer_******* something or another, which means he is very young, can't blame him for believing something older than he is, as being special or collectible. I remember my parents thinking i was nuts for bringing home old "junk stuff" made in the 50's/60's when i was a teen.

At least he don't want $1000 for it like another seller did for his set a few days ago! Every time I advertise for antique radios in the paper; I get at least one call from someone claiming to have an "antique radio" only to arrive and find an AM/FM mono cassette portable from 1985.

I think this same TV is/was on Craig's List, called a "vintage" RCA, but not antique anyway.

Soon (very soon, or maybe already?) anything with a tube and not HD will be considered "Antique" or at least "Antiquated"
