I think I'm crazy...

Thought I'd share an experience with you all...
I think my TV addiction has gone a little too far...
On Monday I was at a local resale store and saw a late 60s Zenith 19" B/W set. It was in very good condition, and since it was a zenith B/W set, it worked great. I decided to think about it for a while, rather that shell out $8 for it on the spot.

So today I was in the neighborhood of the store, and decided to see if the set was still there. Of corse it was, I'm probably the only one who goes in there who would buy a Black and White TV with NO remote

Now a smart person would walk back and get the car, but not me. I decided to walk back about a mile to my house, carrying a 40 pound TV.
Is this normal?
Let me say that it is not fun... good thing it wasn't a color set
I got some funny looks from people and heard one person say "hey look at the old TV"
I got home OK, but my perspective was changed on Zenith using steel chassis.
I know some of you wouldn't go to so much trouble to save an "average" black and white set from the late 60s, but I couldn't stand to see that well built American made set go to the dumpster.
I will post some pictures soon, so you can tell me if it was worth the trouble.
Someday I will find an old console there, and hopefully will have gotten a little smarter by then.
