Cool $10 dollar find(s)

I answered a CL ad for a "very old but functional tv" this morning. There was no picture, but I thought what the hell.

I met a nice elderly lady who had inherited her house from a relative. He happened to be a radio and tv tech and had a garage filled with stuff. Unfortunately someone had gotten to most of the equipment before I, but there were two things that I did grab.

1. A Curtis Mathes 19" tabletop. I haven't cracked it open to see if there are any tubes or not, nor did I power it up because of its horribly dirty appearence.

2. an early Sony transistor portable thatis missing its power cord.

She told me there was more "junk" to be cleared outof the attic, but she would call me if she found anything of interest.

WooHoo! I love it when things like this happen!
