I've been talking to the seller of this set. It looks clean and the CRT is probably good although I haven't tested it. I get first chance at it but I'm on the fence. I like the cabinet and it's a very watchable set. .

I like the looks of it; price is pretty high for what these go for, at least in my part of the country. I'd feel better at $50, but I wouldn't call you nuts paying $150 if you really like. Do make sure the crt is good before you shell out that much, though.

More like a $50 TV in these parts (near Seattle).

If the crt is good, and if the cabinet is in really nice condition go for it.
I recently paid 150$ for that 1960 Zenith Frederiksburg combo, what the hell, you only live once.

I have two RCA's of that vintage. They are both the same model and look simular to the set listed. The ones I have are the cheaper model chassis. It has a penthode tuner and a 21mhz. IF. The one shown has a cascode tuner and a 41mhz. IF. Also has two 5U4's, where mine has a 5U4 and a 5Y3. 21AP4 CRT. Good set, but not worth the asking price.

Thanks for all the feedback. I'm still on the fence but we'll see what the weekend brings. I do get impulsive especially if I'm already headed in that driving direction. My guess is it will still be there. Sets don't move quickly in this area unless it's a rare set.

Here's another seller who just has the RCA cabinet and is asking 300 for it.

In other words the cabinet with the TV in it is worth less than the cabinet without the TV. just for a laugh I think I'll send the link for the seller with the cabinet with the TV to the seller of just the cabinet.

I wonder if those are granite shelves in that cabinet? Love the hardwood floors.
