Gag gift? - I hope not!
 
Geez. I really hope this doesn't end up a $0.99 gag gift :(

This guy posted another photo. Bakelite set with no cracks. I live about 90 minutes from there. I will try to get it.

I wish somebody would give ME a "Gag" gift like that...I'd hug their neck ! Be a helluva lot better than a tie or belt, or a bunch of monogrammed snot rags...Yeah, I know, I'm sick, ain't I ? (grin)

This ain't no 'gag gift'. This is a cool set and looks to be in great shape. Hope someone gets it and gives it a good home.

Very similar to the Twonky set.

The control door is worth many times the opening bid. I have this basic set, without the fancy gold front, and it is a great performer.

So Johnboy55, did you get it yet?

That set is DEFINITELY no gag gift. :no: It's beautiful! :yes: :thmbsp:

Not yet.

There is still another 3 days until the auction ends. I'm the one with the 99 cent bid.

Fingers are crossed for you! I'd jump on that like a rabbit during mating season if it were in driving range.

Wish I had that gag gift.. Looks almost exactly like the twonky, except the color, and, maybe the size of screen.
Boy, that's a great movie.
Hans Konreid was a good actor.

I showed a friend some stills from the twonky last night. He recognized Konried from another movie he stared in the same year 'The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T' (written by Dr. Seuss). Now that's a weird movie !

Bill Cahill 06-02-2009 12:37 PM

Ahh, yes. That was the wierdest movie he made. Imagine the size of that gigantic piano keyboard he made his students sit at.

I ended up paying 99 cents for the TV!
