Thanks for the heads up, I'm thinking of going after it.

Very cool console! I dig the hideaway look. Man consoles of yesteryear really had flare! That one's a peach too! Go get 'er Mark! That missing leg shouldn't be too awful hard for a woodsmith to remake. Not sure about the cost factor.

Pretty sure I can make the leg myself

That should help keep the cost down

Hiding the screen when not in use was the original "wife acceptance factor" in cabinet design. Very few were done with flip-ups however, I suspect because of the impossibility of putting any items on the top. Zenith once produced a rear projo with a motorized rising screen under a flip-open top, and I wonder how many people regretted getting one of those just because they coudn't use the space on top.

Any way, it's a unique item, and I hope you get it.

Did ya get it ? It went higher than I expected!

Nope, wasn't me. I wanted it though......maybe the next one that pops up.

That is a very cool set. Does anybody else here have one? I have only seen that in a brochure and ad.

Ah ha... get it?... "next one that pops up"... that's a pretty good one

looks like another one has "popped up". Not too far from me--and I COULD possibly go and get it for someone on a weekend--if it is needed.

I guess they are more common than I thought. This one is very nice. I bet it was a very popular set when new.

that second set listed is in louisville,ky only 20 minutes from me. if one of you guys wants it that is far away I would gladly pick it up and store it for you for just the gas to go get it until you can make the trip to pick it up.
