Been collecting here in Asheville since 1986. Moved back here from Atlanta that year. Brought several sets back with me that have been being hauled around by me since the early '70's.
The house is small, and cant hold more. This year, I've gotten the Maggie entertainment center, and a DuMont RA-113 17" set. To get them in the house, I gave away my big cabinet where I kept my 27" Trinitron, and big stereo system. The Trinitron is on top of the DuMont cabinet, and the Maggie is wedged in beside my couch. The stereo is totally disconnected. Nothing to play the albums on right now. Got a Crosley 402 (?) in the garage, a 21" Zenith tabletop with space command buried in the living room holding something up, and several small tube sets that are working, along with a couple of the little MCS silver component TV's that were part of a stereo system. SandyG gave me one of them. I see sets I want almost every week. I must resist. I've been thinking about downsizing myself. VK members will be the first to know about that!! I would load up on sets if I had the space, but since I dont, I'll deal with it.

I was told of a Seeburg SMC jukebox set out for the garbage Wednesday night. I didn't even go check it out.
The fact that saving it would have involved me loading it alone into a truck with marginal brakes on a 35 mile round trip was no real deterrent. And I could have squeezed it somewhere if I got creative. But I have enough to fool with for now. Of course, if it were something like a DeForest Sanabria, that would be sorta irresistable

Does anyone know the guy from Raleigh that had the sets on Ebay? If you go to the link at the beginning of this thread, you get a search for reference to him and the search shows no reference to him. It looks like he vanished from Ebay! Anyway, I lost track of this and wanted to see if the guy moved the sets or was still sitting on them.

Sorry, I don't know him, but I was watching a couple of his sets and they did get bids.

I just thought that he had other auctions; then I go back and his screen name is not even in their system. It just seemed weird. Darnit, I could have drove a couple of hours and picked up a working roundie for $50 (buy it now)! Oh well, I missed the boat on this one.

Yep, he's still there, but somebody got that beautiful Philco roundie for $36.00!!!  I feel like an idiot! Procrastination can make a person miss out on a lot of opportunity!
