This makes no sense at all!! The one thing that really CHANGED society as we knew it has no value at all?? At least a TV might actually be the one thing that you could get that actually DOES something. It just kills me to see all the Elvis crap, or old dishes, coins, furniture, gas station products, or even worse Coca-Cola "collectables" and a whole lot of other simply useless (but collectable), boring stuff hanging around that is soooo valueable and you can't give away the one thing that generated a whole heck of a lot of the memories that began the whole nostalgia thing to begin with.

One pittfall for TV's is size and weight to be honest. That is still not the answer though. An ESSO gasoline pump is large, heavy, dirty, and stinky. A big, red, Coca-Cola sign takes up quite a bit of space. As do juke boxes...I don't want to hear the same stack of 45 RPM records over and over personally. I CAN see why they would be interesting, nostalgic, or whatnot. Just not for me. You would not have much trouble getting a decent return on a Wurltizer juke investment.

I gave $5 for my Zenith Space Command to keep Goodwill from dumpstrizing it, or some redneck getting it to house his fish tank. I sure would like to have Jeepkings Zenith as mine pretty much stumped me on the repair end. I could swap chassis. I wonder if he is in reasonable driving distance. I don't believe he has disclosed his location.


Hey Jeepking, where are you at? Do you deliver??
