Naperville is about 30 miles south west of chicago near where I-355 and I-55 meet. I caught the topic on this, and man if I had the room too I'd snag that, but I'm just not much of a TV collector. I hope someone gets this besides the trash man.

Just outside Chicago.

ends in 20 minutes.. wish me luck! looks like it might end at 99 cents!
Did anyone else notice the date the pics were taken? I didn't 'till now... makes me a little nervous. 1-14-06 was a while ago
hopefully the camera has the wrong date!

I'd bid on it, but not with gas prices the way they are. By the time I got it home, I'd probably have upwards of $1.98 into it... DOUBLE!!!

I won the set for $10.55! not a bad price for a working set! I'll update after I get it.

I'm glad you were able to save it

Great score for ten bucks! This is another example of Zenith ultra-quality workmanship. A great B/W set that will go forever. Here's my '64, looks like practically the same one.

Awrite !! Great save !!

Glad you got the set. I was thinking about it also, but decided with fuel prices I did not want to add to my $800.00 a month fuel bill.

That was a nice score , especially for 10 bucks

Sandy G had mentioned Mr Dumpster .
With a cabinet like that , the other threat is Mr Fishtank .

Great to hear it has a good home .

Always nice to see somebody do the honorable thing.

I haven't been posting or doing much tv stuff for the last week as we had a family emergency. I just wanted to say that I went and picked it up last sat. and it looks better in person than in the pics! I will restore it to full operating condition in a month or so. I will update then, oh and btw, kbmuri, your set looks and works beautiful. I hope I can get this one going that nicely.

my grandmother had that same set. Unfortunatly it got thrown out twenty five years ago becuase it needed a picture tube and the repair told her it wasnt worth it . Wish i could have saved it , if that zenith was closer , i would take the drive and grab it .
