I agree with tubejunke on the value part all the way. Unfortunatly shipping is the major killer for these things. I paid $75 for space command 200 console at an estate sale back in 99. Nobody was interested. As we know, the tv interest has very limited interest. Basically, most those who collect these sets are also able to fix them (like us). Or, they are used as prop etc, and the people just like to look at it, but have no clue how to take the back off. I find 50's consoles all over the place, and they never get bought and its sad in a way. Styling is obvioulsy a major factor. Seriously, in my opinion, Id pay $200 for that zenith, which is a pretty sharp looking set by the way! However, Id be reluctant to put out another $400 to have it brought to my house! So I cant honestly say its worth $600, but Id rather pay it that see it get crushed as those sets are only around once! Space commands will always be my favorites!
