Miss America TV- Any interest?

So a guy I know in one of the local thrifts has a Miss America TV by Philco (I think). Cabinet is real pretty, more tall than wide, probably around 1958? Don't know if it is color or B&W, he said it powers up but there is no picture. Can probably get it for under $100.

I have no interest in old tv's- yeah, they look cool, but just not my thing. If anyone here is interested I am willing to pick it up for you, you can arrange shipping or pickup (I'll haul it to a UPS store!). I'm in NC so take that into shipping consideration! Contact me if interested.

No, liquor does not make you charming. That's what peyote is for.

The picture tube alone would make it worthwhile if it was good, as it's the same one used in the 21" table model Predictas.

Sadly, those picture tubes were junk, and that one's probably gone south as well. Unless you have the capacity to test it, I'd pass.
