Is this the model of TV that...

[Bill Cahill]

Some of the sets just won't sell well due to shipping, and, seller refuses to ship.
Since you are picking it up, with care, it can be moved safely, but, really should be dismantled. But, it can be moved.
I just wouldn't use a shipper that way.
Ask if you can pay for it upon picking it up. Most ebay dealers won't mind that.
Don't be overly afraid of the set, but, if you are planning on plugging it in, it needs to be restored properly first. Electrolytics dry out, and, short. Paper caps get leaky, and, shorted.
On these early sets, a number of "mica mold" caps were used, including on the line. They weren't mica caps. They were paper caps in mica style bodies.
They are very prone to failure.
I'd get a tech that knows how to properly restore these to go over it first.
If you have electronics know how, and, want to restore it, you will be able to learn how. A hint. Do NOT remove chassis until picture tube is taken out. Front of tube is held in by brackets screwed to cabinet.
