As I expected, the 2000 failed to meet the reserve, and it has been relisted. Looks like you have a second chance Bobby!
I seriously have to give the seller an A+ for not giving up over the course of several years and holding out for the long dollar. But you have to figure, after listing it however many times on ebay, then possibly in publications, answering calls, possibly again waiting for no-shows to come look at it, and who knows what else, He must be very patient! Sometimes you just have to cut your losses though, if he paid himself say, 18.00 an hour for all the time invested in selling it, it would add up to a sizable chunk of the set's value. I am in no way poking fun at the guy, I just was remarking on the fact that it has been for sale for a while. In fact, I hope someone would appreciate it and purchase it soon for a museum or private collection.

When I started school in '77 they had Panasonic U-matics; they worked pretty well I thought. The next time I see the principle I should ask if one is still sitting around. Some of the teachers used them to record soap operas for later viewing. I really should contact my middle school history teacher, who was in charge of the A/V department. He had a Panasonic reel-to-reel video player which he fired up one day to show a short film. He also had a classy looking 19" Chromacolor while the rest of the TV's were eighties era solid state.
The G-2000 is significant but has a limited appeal. How many people really appreciate such a thing? For me, space is a premium and there are other sets I would rather have taking up the real estate.

I just had to have a G-2000, then when I got one and realized how big, heavy and ugly (to me) it was, I was counting the days until it left my house! Again, I am not knocking it, I just didn't care for the style, and i'm not a real fan of solid state stuff anyway.

Shall we say it's a "WHITE ELEPHANT"?
