rca xl-100 score

[sampson159]

scored a rca xl-100 from 1974 at the early television museum.this is a new set!! still boxed and palletised,from thompson electronics.they had two units. one was early american with legs and this one.still bolted to pallett. no bids at the silent auction. i bid,but i think someone lost it. i had to leave earlykentucky derby).steve called me and i picked it up saturday.got it for way less than the bid.34 years of storage didnt help this unit.all controls were extremely dirty and the tuner was a mess.thats the bad news.the good news-after a routine set-up,this set rules!!!beautiful 70s color. i remember those days.the only drawback is a particle board cabinet with vinyl woodgrain.i can live with that.forgot how good those rca crts were back then.will post pics soon!btw-he has a dumont roundie in the back-rca clone.anyone interested?
