How about at your house?
The problem for museums is that they operate at a loss. Even the government ones. If you could get your land and building free, you would still have to convince the local government for property tax exemption. And then there's electric and gas (heat) bills you would have to deal with.

There's a couple of sets at the museum that I have CRTs for(looks like the CRTs are bad in all the free sets), and happen to like a little, but right now I am already probably beyond capacity. I need to have some things work out so I can get my own house and some out buildings for storage so I can take advantage of the increasing number of situations like this.

A solution to the transportation problem...
is UShip.com. They even have a TV show about this called Shipping Wars on the Quest channel.
Its about private individuals who bid for shipping jobs all across America. Many of their items are much larger than an antique TV set. Just an idea.

Did anyone take the Royal Sovereign, or is that still looking for a home?

I am having trouble with the private messaging on this forum.
Well, so far, no. There is a guy who is coming up from Augusta GA. to check the CRT but he hasn't arrived yet. He said he was going to have to make space in his storage rental. He has another chassis with the coil in it. I think he is on this board.

Keep us up to date on what happens. If no one takes it, I might be interested, but only if the CRT is good after a "cook-in." I have a suitable HV coil that I think I can make work for it. Cabinet would have to be free of any wood or veneer damage. It would be very expensive and somewhat risky to ship out here, but I'm willing to look into it.
