Hey, it's "barn fresh"!

[rca2000]

Some did bulb out there in this area thinks he can get real money for this wonderful piece of antiquity. I am NOT showing this to recommend it--only to show the utter idiocy of the post. ::

The sad thing is that someone will probably pay that price...

I don't see the button to nominate it for "best of CL" I think this one is a winner....

I wonder what he gets for his old dried out cow turds....?


This is from his ad text:

post title:
60 year old antique TV - barn fresh - RCA Victor Kinescope - $250 (Oxford Hamilton)


60 year old antique TV - barn fresh - RCA Victor Kinescope

Kinescope 21CEP4 circa 1952-1957. Wood case intact except for back fiberboard. Dusty and dirty. Sold As-Is. Probably does not run without replacement parts and much effort.

I could clean up but will sell you the TV for price above with the dust and dirt for free.

Hey, the dust and dirt are free, what are y'all whinin' about?

Haha.

I thought it was a projection set because the safety glass is so filthy.

What that thing needs is some lighter fluid and a freshly lit match.

[rca2000]

In one picture the tube base does NOT appear to even be intact !!


I do not think it is even worth $2.50 !!

I took a crowbar to a TV cabinet in similar condition. Your method would have been more fun though.

Haha yup. An early 90s Ford airbag stuck inside would be fun too. They go off with excessive force. I saw one deployed in a junk fridge, totally destroyed it. Imagine what they could do inside a TV whose CRT were still under vacuum.

Gentlemen, THIS is why I went to the trouble & expense to procure for myself a Fully-Automatic Weapon... You simply have NO IDEA how much unbridled GLEE it is to empty a couple of clips of 9 Mike-Mike into an Invaluable Barn-Find Kinescope like this... I can only add the words of that Eloquent Philosopher, B. Bunny, Esq., in commenting on this-"Oh, Prunella !"

I can't think of a better reason for getting one.

Its also Big Fun to toss a gallon milk jug up in the air, & see how many times you can make it "Jerk" on the way down..Or use it as a rather NOISY & EXPENSIVE way to mow down a patch of Bull-Weeds.. But honestly, about the BEST time I ever had with it was when a buddy brought his 14 yr old son over, & we let the kid shoot it... Kid grinned & "Lit Up" like 100 Christmas trees..

That would have been a nice finish to my last washing machine. Just to see parts popping off in all directions.

I have about $1200-1500 in it, I MIGHT start talkin' to you for $5K, IF I wanted to sell it, which I DON'T... The guy I got it from also had 2 M-60s, one was "As New", the other was still in Cosmoline, for $7K for the both of 'em back in '87... The LAST M-60 I saw for sale was a bit north of $25K, several years back..Wished I'd gotten 'em now..But who knew ?

Where are the Rats going to pee now that he took this out of the barn?
