CT-100 baiting?
 

I was surprised to see this. A joke perhaps?

Yeah, plug it in and turn up the volume! Mein Gott...

Funny they knew the year make and model but do they plug it in??

All I could find out is that his name is Denis Suski, 35 years old, Washington, DC. I'd be tempted to contact him to see if it's for real, but I don't want to reward a jokester either.

Tell him to come over and pick up my Hallicrafters SX-88.

Too much CSI: Miami. doubt them rubbermaid containers and the broomrake with that old radio woulda been 1990's stuff in 1964 Heratio, but I can take it to the lab and have it anaylized, just dont plan any crimes anytime soon unless you plan on hangin ten downtown for planting eveidence LOL but all in fun!

I had email contact with this guy, the set is for real, looks to be in rough shape, and has a broken up base on the CRT, likely down to air.

Wow surprising he would want to plug it in or even ask, sounds like he knows what he has odd he would want to plug it in with things busted like that, but I guess

My first email contact with him was March 9th. I don't think he plugged it in.

its risky lol I may try one of mine I shouldnt plug in, but I have to start somewhere so I can see it in some cases, but not with a CT 100 ekks

I'm taken aback! It shows the danger of seeking answers from strangers on a site like answer.yahoo. You need to take them with a grain of salt.

I'm just amazed that it was found in an alley. Of course two years ago if I had read this I would have just said "so?" in my ignorance.

So he really FOUND A CT-100 IN AN ALLEY?

I seem to recall hearing something about this a few days ago, but I can't recall where. Still, it's kind of an incredible story, so John, please fill us in on the details if you can.

(I guess I'm going to have to start checking out the alleys around here!)

What are the odds of finding a CT-100 in an alley? Just doesn't sound right..

what a conincidence.
 

I went out by my garge today and found some stone tablets, looks like the ten commandments. LOL:banana:

Anything is possible, but it's a red flag for suspicion that he knew the year, and it's not written anywhere I know of, on a CT-100. He needed either his own knowledge, or he has done enough research to know what it is, and how to go about checking it's condition. I've found rarer sets in alleys than CT-100s, so I can believe that part easily.
