Probably the latest Zenith combo I've seen - late seventies?

I love the verbage of the ad though:

"Stereo, 8 track & record player works great.
TV hasn't been used in a long time. Not sure if works."

and

"Make reasonable offer Only serious offers considered."

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. It's also an "antique."

It's hard to say what chassis is in it. It's highly possible that it's got the horizontal solid state chassis of the early '70's or maybe the vertical CCII chassis. I don't think it's new enough to have a system 3 chassis. It does look like a remote set.

By them mentioning "antique", that means they aren't planning on letting it go for $10 or $20.

It is a good looking combo unit I must say, it looks like a 1978. My grandparents had one almost identical to it and I swear I remember the Chromacolor badge on it with Zoom feature...

Ad was moved into the antiques section:

is it just me or do other find "make offer" and "only serious offers will be considered"

why not just do a little homework, or just put a price you can live with, and let the intrested parties have some idea of what you want.

maybe its just me but I hate that dance.

[radiotvnut]

I hate that dance also because usually when I make someone an offer, they are insulted. Normally, when someone says "make an offer", they are looking for someone to offer tham a ton of money for their treasure.

Just tell me what you want for your junk. If the price is too high and they won't accept a counter offer, I walk away.

[AUdubon5425]

The only time I ever used "make offer" was when I had either no idea what something was worth, or just wanted it gone and really didn't care. But I agree, the majority of sellers have "pie in the sky" ideas.

I ought to make a serious offer of $5.00 to this person. $5.00 is seriously all I'd be willing to pay for a broken TV, BSR changer and a Hong Kong/Taiwanese stereo that I couldn't give away locally.

[radiotvnut]

That would be $5 more than most anyone else would give. You should try it just to see what happens.

I'll tell you what happens: my wife may just start throwing the frying pans at me! I'm happy the Rock-Ola 488 that followed me home tonight was well received (she likes the purple & blue design.)

Nice! Much better deal than that $125 torn up POS that's at the local chruch run "bargain center". I think I remember seeing some like this at the Pizza Hut's here in town.
