This was my annual "Trash Find Rescue"... I was going through Chatsworth on my way home from a big GM car show today at Woodley Park in Encino, CA, and happened to spot a HUGE mountain of busted furniture lying on the edge of the road. I went around the block to check it out, and I was shocked to see a 50s B&W set still around, and being tossed! That neighborhood in particular seems to cough up a nice antique set now & then.
It's a Westinghouse Stratovision in a metal blond-grain consolette cabinet (missing legs?, and missing some knobs). Looks complete, some rust in the bottom.
There is also a 1970s Zenith Avanti white pedestal/rosewood top console (25" solid state version), but I didn't bother to un-bury it. It looks OK, but has stuff stacked ontop and in front of it. If anyone wants it, go to DeSoto Ave about 100' north of Devonshire on the west side of the street. It was still there as of noon today, and there isn't any trash pickup there because it's in front of a vacant lot.
Last year, it was an RCA 16" roundie that I found about a mile from this set.
I don't want to keep this, all I wanted to do was rescue it before somebody might throw a brick at the 21" B&W tube
See the TV classified thread... It's free to good home!!!!
