best of luck to you. be prepared to snipe 400+ for this beauty.

You guys get alll the luck. if it weren't for the stupid EPA trying to protect us, we would have more of these in so-cal

We had that exact set when I was little back in to early 70s. I found a picture from Christmas 72 with that tv. Wish I could find one now that was close.

yup. I think its another member here: oldtvman

Guess he hasn't seen thread.

I'm guessing this may end up at 700+ judging by the bids so far

oldtvman · #8 07-29-2006, 02:18 PM

right now I'm the currrent high bidder, but like always that will change

jpdylon · #9 07-29-2006, 06:09 PM

nowadays your best bet with ebay is to bid at the last possible moment, and bid the highest you would posssibly pay under the curcumstances.

hope someone here gets it and brings it back to life.

~$300, wow... that other 5 that closed recently didn't even break $100 and it had the nicer (IMO) speaker grille woodwork rather than grille cloth. Guess the brightener wasn't worth the risk??

It was worth the risk to me. BUT- the shipping was NOT worth it!!

I believe that was the "deal killer" on that one. Just too far away for mos tof us.
