Something VERY rare andINTERESTING -at the ETF this convention !

Well...there MAY just be something coming to the ETF..MORE interesting than a CT-100..or even an RR-359 !!

Something more RARE...than EITHER one of those sets !!

Something that..until NOW..was not even believed was still in existence..

Something that cost MORE..than an average HOUSE...when it was new !!

Something ...that only THREE..are believed were ever produced of it !!

NOT a kit...NOT a homebrew set. This is a commercial item..

POST WW_II.

NOT a mechanical color set. This is likely even RARER...than those !!

Let your minds wonder.....

No this is NOT a hoax. This comes from VERY reliable sources..

Steve may have just happened on one of the RAREST tv sets out there..

Let me just say...when this set was new...it was something most people ONLY could "dream of"...

It weighs 900 POUNDS !!

Perhaps a tri-color theatre projection system? Or perhaps an Eidophor system?

900 pounds, could be one of those 10 foot long Curtis Mathis consoles.

Even those probably had more than three made though.
