The monetary value of the old TV's is kind of a good and bad thing for us TV collectors...it is good for when you are buying sets as you can get them for cheap or nothing but when you try to sell them the mass market is not really interested.

I think this is due to the fact that most antiques buyers are dealers looking for something they can re-sell at a profit, or people who want something decorative and fashionable for their home...and right now these sets are not in fashion.

It will be interested to see what the value of the 60's TV's will be in say 15 or 20 years. People like us who have collected them may have the only ones out there...you likely will not see any at garage sales or thrift stores or the trash like you do sometimes now.

Doug, you did a great job in restoring those sets, I'd buy every one of them but am unfortunately too far away to get them.
