I doubt if this will ever happen again!
Last night I decided to go out and see what I might find "picking" in my old neighborhood. After finding a decent lawnmower I stopped and looked at a early nineties Magnavox a few streets down. Nah, I have no one that needs a tv right now and am running out of space in the garage for that stuff...
Then two streets over I slam on the brakes and said "oh my god" My son is by then thinking I ran over something or someone! There it was, A CTC 5! with stand! I had it loaded in about 2 seconds and sped home! It's complete with no broken or missing parts even. It has an old piece of masking tape with 40.00 written on it, What the story is on this set I will never know, Just glad it didn't sell and they set it out on the curb! |

Here is a pic of the inside, The crt has a 56-43 date code and is good!
It makes me a bit sick to think it may have been crushed had I or someone else that knew what it was not grabbed it. Seriously, I thought those days were over of finding this stuff... Sheesh, It's 2004 already! The last 5 or 7 that I saw had to be in 1980... Last edited by captainmoody; 10-25-2004 at 11:40 AM. |

WOW! Cap, have you been taking TV finding lessons from Doug?
I'm sure you'll be diggin inside this baby before the day is over... and of course we'll be waiting to find out that it just needed a tube replaced to make it play!
