I need for legs for my table-top Packard Bell '64!

Anyone have any legs for this set? I'd like to put it on the ground.

Thanks!

Legs

Hey Steve,
You just keep teasing us with that virgin Packard Bell. Don't plug it in unless I'm there. I still think your best bet for legs are at Home Depot or most unfinished furniture stores. The screw in tapered legs and a little matching stain and you're done.

Gosh darn it, Steve, I did go to the Depot. After pricing the legs, primer, stain and top coat, it could cost more than buying an old junker TV and taking the legs off of it!

Steve,

You are right about the price of those unfinished screw-on legs. I get mine from an old table that I'd find thrown out curbside or at Salvation Army/goodwill. I refinish them and put new brass ends on. The ends are cheap.

I got this metal RCA without any legs. I refinished/fresh ended a set I unscrewed off a coffee table at the local dump. They look better than new. Sand clean, stain and some spray lacquer is all.

Rob
