Another Curtis Mathes BEAST!

[polaraman]

polaraman is the winner! We will soon know what makes this beast tick!!!! Could eight of you meet me at my house next week to get it into the house?

LOOK OUT FOLKS! HE'S A FREE MAN AND IS GONNA BUY 'UM ALL!!!

Hell, it'll take 8 people to lift the radio/tape unit off the top of that sucker...Assuming of course, it DOES come off. Great score, anyway-Sandy G.

You certainly don't mind driving some distance to get one of these! Georgia to PA is a pretty good haul!

Congrats on the win! I was really hoping someone here would get this. And when your day comes to pass on, we'll make sure they use the set as your coffin!

Good luck on it's move!

I actually am from Pennsylvania. I am going home (PA) on leave this week to vote and visit the folks. Lancaster is like 30 miles away. I had hoped to line up some sets to make the drive more interesting. Scheduled to pick up a Westinghouse in Virgnia on Sunday. No girlfriend equals plenty of cash!!

[Charlie]

Yeah, I hear ya! I recall my check book getting unusually fat after my wife split. Not to say she wasn't worth a thin checkbook, but, it is quite amazing how much it grows once they leave.

You ain't kidding! that has to weigh 300 lbs

Maybe you can sell the eight track for enough to pay for the set.

I have a friend who's looking for a beast system. The wider and bigger, the better. Prefferably in the Northeast region.

I think this one's a bit too radical, though. He wants a bit lower and ULTRAWIDE. Wooden, TV, phono, stereo. I'd prefer a roundie since I'm gonna have to fix the thing

[Charlie]

Nasa,

Seems like this one would have been good for your friend... although i don't recall where it was. I think this one was up for auction a few weeks back. I don't think they come any wider than this one... wasn't it like 80 inches wide???

It's baaack: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...129477242&rd=1

That's the perfect set for my friend, but it's too far away for us, unless someone closer could pick it up for us and hold it until we can get it

Perfect set, wrong location

[polaraman]

This Baby has wheels!!!! I got it into the house. All by myself I might add. I spent $50 on the casters and wood. The radio and phono function perfectly. The tape player has the pause button stuck. I am going to rip into that soon. The Tv is working but needs adjustment. I dropped the back on the stuff on the neck. Tossed the color out of sync. I am working on getting it right. Will post pictures of the Tv soon. It is a C20 TV chassis.

Aren't the dollies in the picture part of the original equpment?

Charlie - yeah, that's what he wants! If anyone sees one in the Northeast area, or on ebay on the east coast - let me know. Has to have a stereo in it too.

1/2 the reason he wants them - they're cool. Other 1/2? Too big for the parents to throw out on him!

Remember, the wider the better!

[polaraman]

I just arrived home! The beast is on the back of the truck. The CRT has a 1 AUGUST1980 rebuild date stamped on it. More later
