Mercury TV in So Cal

I'd like to have this, it's within an hours drive from me, but I really don't have a place to put it, my last big set is being stored at my work!

If no one bid's I'm going to feel obliged to bid just to save it, if someone else wants it to restore please jump on it!

Nice set! Pacific Mercury is a fairly rare set, and I've never seen one that nice. I had a 24" roundie, with a cheap mahogany pressboard cabinet, 20 years ago.

Eric, If I put it in my watch column, and happen to get fidgity mouse fingers and bid on it, it's YOUR fault!

Feel free to go for it Charles, if you decide not to let me know and I might still bid on it so it won't go in the Dumpster.

I'm of the same attitude... No desire to have it at all, but don't want it junked. I think you might be the default victim, since it's geographically closer to you?

Charles you talked me in to it, however if I get it something else has to go, most likely the Early Rectangular Motorola console I can't get rid of.

I'll take the Moto to the Thrift where it'll probably wind up a cabinet for a Flat Screen or a bookcase because of it's sliding doors.

Well, I didn't get it, I bid $45 and someone out bid me a the last minute.
Not that I really wanted it but it would be nice to know it wasn't going to be a fish tank.
