Beautiful 1964 RCA 21" roundie with stereo in LA on eBay!!
 

Our buddy Jon Lopez is selling this good looking set with stereo:

He's practically giving it away.

With a little work, this baby could be a showpiece. It's in the San Fernando Valley suburb of Los Angeles. If I had room I'd grab it but my wife would kill me!

That's a CTC-16 in there...

Hey Steve,

Where 'ya been buddy? Yeah that is one beautiful console allright. I hope it finds a home where it will be appreciated.

Rob

Oh, I'm here every day, usually in lurk mode.

I hope somebody gets this set. It's quite impressive. I could sleep on it!

If I got rid of my Curtis-Mathis B&W console I would have room for this :D

My lower back would never survive it though!

I have an idea! I could get this too:

Eric,

Now that makes a lot of sense! With a propane forklift you could run it indoors and not worry about fumes. You'd be all set to handle the big collectibles like even a DuMont Royal Sovereign, or hey I know....you could buy my Eidophor projectors! :)

In New York
 

Guys, I LOVE the console.

But I live in New York City. How the heck would I get it crated and shipped? Anybody have any idea?

Please help if you can, I'd love to buy this if we can figure a way to get it to me safely without spending a fortune.

thanks,

Mike

Mikey likes it!

Worth a shot.

Space, the final frontier
 

Hey Hoffy,
Good tip. Craters & Freighters does pick up in the zip code where Jon's combo is located. (91405). So Mike, if you can, don't let this beautiful set get away or worse..:confused:
There are several of us roundie collectors in the L.A. area, but we all have the same problem: SPACE! or should I say the lack of space.

Shipper
 

Ok!!

I'll give them a call.

Anybody have ANY idea what this baby weighs?

Mikey

Weight of this beauty...
 

I could be off, but I would say between 150 & 200 pounds. A CTC-16 console tv by itself has got to be an easy 100 pounds, so I would assume another 50 pounds tacked on with the stereo equipment. This is one sweet set! I love these combo units! Back "in the day" I remember special ordering a Zenith Chromacolor 2 combo unit. It had a special inlaid wood cabinet, and had Space Command with Zoom. I think it was $1100 and this was in 1979 or 1980. I remember that sucker weighed a TON and it was not a solid wood cabinet like this RCA is. Anyway.. Good luck Mikey! I hope you get this. You will be amazed at the sound quality!

Mike,
C&F does excellent work in crating and shipping. I've used them many times. That big unit will cost a lot to crate. I've also used Eric's Machine Movers. He mostly moves jukeboxes but he's picked up some tvs for me. No problems and it was about half the cost since he doesn't crate the set. 866-ERIC-SHP is the number I have for him. Good luck, that is a beautiful console.
Fred

thanks fellas
 

Thanks to one and all.

Still trying to figure out if it will fit in my elevator!

I need to do some measuring this weekend.


Now, if I used the Jukebox guy and he doesnt crate it, isnt it very likey it would be damaged in shipping? Would it stay on one truck all the way thru?


Mike

Yes, it's on his personal truck and he takes good care of the sets. That's why they don't have to be crated. The last tv I shipped with Eric went from PA to CA then to TX and it arrived with no damage.
Fred

thanks
 

Thanks Fredo!!!

If it will fit in my elevator, its a possibilty.

thanks for your help!!!

Think he would go all the way to NYC tho?
