Hi. My name is Sam...

and I'm addicted to vintage televisions.

I'm from Mesa, Arizona. I'm 33 years old, married, with 3 boys and 1 on the way (don't know if its a boy or girl).

I have always loved items from the 1940's to 1960's.
I used to have 5-6 vintage TVs when I first got married but I think it kind of freaked out my wife so I quit cold turkey and sold them.

Well fast forward 9 years and my parents who live close by retired and are on a Mormon mission to Italy for 18 months. They asked me to check on their house once a month to make sure everything is OK. About the same time they left I started looking at this site and antiqueradios.com and got the itch back.

Well, within a month I have already found a couple of TVs on craigslist and am hiding them at my parents house. I think this could be trouble.

I got the Stromberg Carlson for $75 and the Philco for $25. I just couldn't pass up such great deals!
If anyone has or know who has a metal Opera View knob for the Stromberg Carlson could you let me know.

Thanks.
