It's being parted out now. Here is the CRT. The safety glass, doors, and a pair of rabbit ears are also listed for outrageous prices. The chassis, knobs, and speaker are not listed.

Darn, the seller ships in the USA only. I was going to buy it for my distant cousin who works at the Antarctica research station. That might make it worth the price with the free shipping.

Aww, that is indeed an opportunity missed. I wonder just how fine they could have gotten the particles of tube glass crushed down to over that much distance. I can just see the Indiana Jones-style map of its progress getting to the bottom of the world via every conceivable point on the globe.

He has an item listed for $31, worth about $300.

I doubt it if his booking photo is any indication...

Proof of his craziness: when he was pronounced guilty he said in a Mr. Burns voice "Exxxsillent...." while tapping the tips of his fingers together.

Phil was/is regarded by some as a Genius for his producing prowess in popular music...Just goes to confirm the old saw about the line between insanity & genius being a mighty THIN one...After reading a little about him, & his increasingly erratic, bizarre behavior, looks like SOMEBODY shoulda seen this coming...And tried to do something about it.

Red Skelton used to say about himself "If I wasn't rich and famous they would've locked me up a long time ago"
And similarly "If you're strange and rich you're considered an eccentric...if strange and poor, you're crazy" I'm not rich, you figure it out...I'm too busy arguing with the voices. |
