I like it. Probably worth it too.

OMG, that's pretty!

Very nice.
While I wouldn't pay that myself I can easily see someone buying it for that since it's restored and working.

"Right off the showroom floor." Beautiful time capsule.

It sold for $1295.00

The one for 305.00 looks like a 16 inch set. The 19 inch sets are not that easy to find. That was a nice set and with a new crt makes it worth it I guess.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe its a 12" set.

I dreamed that the 19" set would get no bids and I offered a price and he took it.
Then I had to drive 14 hours there to pick it up, and then drive 14 hours back with it.
I worried how well it would survive a 14 hour ride laying on its side in the back of a van.

Still, its definitely the creme da la creme of Zenith portholes.
Hope both of those TVs were bought by forum members.

I was the first bidder on the $305 set but dropped out as the price climbed - don't know who got it.

I STILL want me a leather-covered restored "Claridge" sometime before I shuffle off this mortal coil...

I was hoping you would get that Porthole and take us through the restoration. Looked like it would make a nice TV.

It's not all bad, I picked this set up last Thursday :D

Hey that looks like a very interesting TV.
Tell us more about it.
Got any more pictures?

Thanks, it's a GE 802. Leadlike is currently restoring one in this thread: http://www.videokarma.org/showthread.php?t=246203

I'll do a restoration thread on it sometime soon. More pics here.

Banderson, it looks like you are missing some knobs from your 802. Let me know if you need pictures of the ones you are missing.

Howdy. Tim here. I was the one who purchased the one for $305....a buddy of mine is going to fetch it for me for free. :) It was more than I wanted to spend, but aren't they all.

I know that these can be a pain, but I just love the looks of these sets. I am sure that I will need help getting it going, and since I plan on watching it a bit, I am sure I will be looking for extra picture tubes as well as flybacks. :)
