Must...not...bid.....
 

It's right in my back yard.

The opening bid is about all it's worth but man is it cute!

Aw, man! I'd be all over that if it was in my area :yes:

does the top lid open to access the controls and station tuner?
Boy you not only had to get up out of your chair to change the channel..but you had to lift open a hatch too....
No wonder these people where thin..or was that because they were chain smokers...

Eric, you should grab that... those are cool. My '58 Maggie 17" set uses the same chassis I think... on the front of my Sams, it shows one of those "open the hood" cabinets. However, my controls are on the front. The chassis looks easy to work on, but I've never done anything to mine. STill works fine today just as it did when I got it 10 years ago!

What an interesting cabinet!!! I've seen a few 21" long-legged Magnavoxes with controls ontop in a recess, but never seen this flip-up lid. Reminds me of the Emerson 14" portables that looked like record players.

"Must...not...bid....."

Little devil perched on shoulder with pitchfork sez:

"Go ahead...you know you want it... bid on it...now!"

do it, do it, do it......

can he hold out, will he hold out, can he resist the temptation...

(think ren and stimpy space madness episode and the time travel button that stimpy was supposed to guard so no one would push the button and change history)

you mean the shiney,the shiney candy-like red button dont you:yes::D:yes::D seriously you must bid on it, you know you want to...

Way too cool not to have.

Some fishtanker's mouse is probably hovering over the Place Bid button right now . . . .

It's only $69 if you're in the area... hardly worth quibbling about. Someone who appreciates this stuff should grab it.

The only things I've REALLY regretted in my life are Opportunities missed...SOMEBODY, Go For It !!

I second that. Once you miss them, they're gone!

OK, you talked it into it, I bid.
Now, where will i put it if I get it.

good luck hope you get it. pushed the shiney red candy like button...

EASY... unscrew the legs and stak it on another.. be sure to pad between em... :D
