Dumont RA-113 spotted at the recycler

[matt_s78mn]

So today for work I hauled a load of old computers and printer to the local electronics recycling drop off point. As I approached, I spotted something quite interesting sitting amongst the pile of forlorn electronics...... A saw the back of a large vintage TV cabinet, wait, a chassis with tubes!!!... hmm this could be interesting... OMG, a vintage DuMont!!! I was quite suprised to see it sitting there. Upon closer inspection there was a brightner hanging off the CRT, and the cabinet is missing its doors, and there are no knobs... Still, looks like it would be worth having. So, I asked the girl running the place if it was possible for someone (such as myself) to buy anything there in the piles. Well, she didn't know but said she would talk to the manager. So, she gets the manager and I offer him 20 bucks to take the set, right there on the spot... He says he doesn't know if it's possible, claiming that all of that stuff is property of Dynamic Recycling and he doesn't know if he can let it go! Anyway, I left him my name and number, and told him it'd be a shame for a vintage TV such as that to get scrapped and destroyed. He agreed, but let's just see if he calls back. They close at 5 though, so i'll probably place a call and do a bit of prodding... Hopefully they'll let me grab it... stay tuned...
