(Sorry, as of right now I still refuse to PAY somebody to take them, but that time may yet come.)
See, Kiddo, I'm TRYIN' to HELP you... I didn't stop until I scored myself an RCA 621 T/S from 1946, their 1st TV after the War... Had one for a couple years now, I NEED to take it to Terry DeWick in Knoxville.. Before the 621, I HAD to have a Zenith Porthole... Got it, it went to see Terry, & now I LOVE blowing the Minds of Young Whippersnappers, somewhat like yrself, who've NEVER seen a B/W TV so BIG, or one that is SO "Odd" looking. "THEY HAD TV back then ? Why ain't it Color ? Why does it take SO LONG to come on ?!?"
