Ok guys heres the deal; I went back to the store today and got permission to fiddle with set. The only thing that happens is the lights on the radio dials turn on. The plastic is melted on the dials also. The Tv does nothing, Absolutly no sound from the speaker, not even a humming noise. Heres the big problem, i still dont know the condition of the chassis. There is no room to turn the set around without moving everything out of the room first. Its tucked in the corner and theres no negotiating room. Everything would have to be moved out and at that point I would feel obligated to buy it! To my amazement all of the knobs were present. I tested the turntable as well, it makes a loud grinding noise.
I think what happened here is someone had this in storage and the harsh Arizona heat got to it. Although the cabinet is in excellent condition, this is still going to be a big project! This is indeed a rare set but im not sure if I want to take a $300.00 gamble.
The good news is I found a guy that will move the set for me, pick it up and take it up the stairs and all! That will set me back another $120.00 if i decide to buy it. So my question is..given what we know about the set do you think its worth the $420.00 its going to cost me total?
