YES! PM or eMail me and I will see if I can put something together... You and I have dealt many times on eBay (my eBay name kx250rider).

Somebody asked about seeing one of these in operation. Here's my (blurry) snapshot of the DuMont at the early television museum in Ohio.

And their house photo of the same set.

It was playing the Wizard of Oz continuously during last year's convention.

A truly amazing set, and it's hard to grasp how mammoth it is unless somebody's standing right next to it.

Here are a couple of shots from the ETF convention. The size reference is Mr. Peter Fasciano.

I was kinda tickled that Mark Schubin started using this picture for his column in Television Broadcast magazine right after last year's Early Television Convention.
(With apologies to Mark for swiping his picture!)

I saw the crosley set on ebay and I was floored. I never realized crosley made such sets. I'd love to own one but I have no room. Beautiful set. Very impressive to say the least.
