O Frabjuous Day ! Callooh Callay !
 

There is a Kuba Komet on You-Know-Where, item #330058755031...the starting bid is $7500, I think that is just a tad high. But we can poke fun at it for awhile, it would surely poke us if it could...

I hit the girls here in the office & Lauriann for the dough to get this thing, but nobody was willin' to help out a poor ol' fellow American, for some strange reason...Altho Sheila here giggled at it pretty good when I showed her the picture..."Danger, Will Robinson !"

Sheesh, it's only an hour's drive from me. I should go kick the tires, just to be obnoxious.

Steve McVoy at ETF has one of these. Maybe he could opine as to the value.

They have sold from $6000 to $8000 in the last three years.

what an ugly TV

....I'd still be afeared the gawdam thing might come alive, & murder me in my sleep, or I'd come home loaded one night, get into a fight w/it, slip & get skewered on one of the spines...

what a horrible thing

...I bet these things are common as pig tracks on that alternate reality world in "Superman", what was it called-"Bizarro"...<grin>

id push it out teh window of the office tower, make room for a CT-100

I want one!

Shit, I'd about push an R-390A outta the window of an office tower for an operating CT-100...But it would give whoever it hit a helluva headache...

before disintegrating into a bunch of toothpicks

Even if I could afford one
 

I definately would never want one.

I just can't like something that has no logic whatsoever in the overall theme.

I wonder how many people poke their eye on that point.

I guess if you paint it a solid color it would look good in the Jetson's home.

I find it very odd that something so many find to be so special and exclusive would end up loosing it's back. I wonder how someone could move it and not take the back? Maybe a service man got p.o'd and threw it out the window of whatever strange German penthouse it likely came from.

I would like to see the home it goes to considering they would have that much cash to spend on something that goes with nothing else in this country.

Do you suppose the Germans that think that looks so voondeval would think our G2000 looks as bad as we think the Kuba looks?

I imagine it would be neat to see in person but I do believe I'd get tired of it quick the way another member described counting the days til he got rid of his G2000.

Is there any American TV other than the G2000 that is that peculiar?

i would cut that spike off of it first

:scratch2: As weird as it looks, I can see it being a real conversation piece in the right setting. In the same room with a Paramount speaker system and some of those "melted" looking plastic chairs, maybe with one of those hammered-metal sculpture panels on the wall and some blinking light bulbs, you'd think you'd just stepped into the control room of a 1950's sci-fi movie spaceship. A real conversation starter!

Not for my home, though. :no: [Especially not at that price. Maybe at thrift-shop pricing, just for the fun of it, and only for a while.]
