my back is still soar! me and my 25yr son squessing that tv up narrow set of steps and then making a 90degree turn at the top ,were we discovered we had to remove the basement door.fun fun fun why do i do this to myself. lol i seen that tv over two weeks ago on craigslist and have been talking to that lady ever since ,she wouldnt set a time for me to look at it . her and i think it was her son was afraid to talk to me . iv noticed that on craigslist some people are shy , other people are like earl shive's they will sell you anything for 99.95 .lol

i really hope it does ,because i cant say no .and i think if i dont get it they will trash it ,like that lady in ann arbor trying to give me 5 late 50's tv's for free from that motel ,i posted them here for alittle bit i guess no-one was close to them.

that reminds me ,has anyone hurd from boobtubeman latley . his tv should be on his door step by wednesday if the postal service keeps there word,iv sent a few emails to him telling him i got his payment and i shipped it tues. but no reply back hope he's ok.

looks like the code-date on the tube is 1977, so you know it had to have been in use thru the mid 80's at least.
NICE score!

I was looking at that tag ,i was not sure if it ment 77 or reverse # and it was 78 i know some date codes on other parts the numbers are printed backwards not sure if they do that in television industry though.

if anyone has a picture of this set i would like to see if the tuner knobs are correct for it, the uhf knob doesnt look right or a part of it is missing.im kinda getting fond of this set i like the tall model ones .

Eat your heart out!
We're not hoarders, we're collectors! :nono:

IIRC, the new uniform building code, requires stairways to be a certain width, so the days of narrow stairways are over.

Cool looking set. Good news on your CRT. I'd make some room for that one too! I just can get enough of the roundies. :yes:

now there's a building code i can agree with :D

nope just cant get enough ,now my son want's one when im finished.

That's a nice set. It'll be interesting to see how the Channel Master CRT performs. I can feel for your back pain. My son and I did the same silly thing dragging a long cabinet RCA up out of a basement. The excitement of the moment tends to mask any common sense a guy ever had. :D

Part of the reason I don't have big, ginormous sets is that I'm all eat up w/Uncle Arthur Itis, & have no son to "draft" to help tote 'em...I DO have The Mighty Valdez, a 2000 Excursion, so hauling them ain't a problem, its just loading & unloading.

i hate old arther-itis he's high jacked my spine ,but i guess pain management does help, excpt for the pill taking that drives me nuts.

Good Ol' Unca Art...Yer FAVORITE relative who comes for a "Visit"...And then NEVER feckin' LEAVES....(grimace)
