Ive drivin all over the country to pick up stuff I want, so don't go saying nobody will make the drive.
But I do agree with you. Alot of guys won't make the move on something they want because of the driving distances involved.
Did you watch the zenith roundie on ebay that ended today? You tell me you're finding roundies almost weekly (which I find hard to believe) and you pass them up? Put the thing on ebay and make a few bucks. It works every time. 99% of my ebay sales of vintage TVs go to guys who are not even members or even heard of audiokarma. There is a bigger market out there than you think for these things.
The fact of the matter is, the guys in the TV forums respect TV's like this because we know what they are and what it is that made them good. The average guy just see's it as a pos TV. Obviously millions were made and who knows whats left (probably quite a few yet) we can't save them all. That being said, we know they hit the curb and there is nothing to be done about it. What we especially don't like to see some F'in idiot smash the hell out of one. Conversely, you as an audiophile wouldn't like to see some type of amplifier or speaker you like get the piss beaten out of it with a sledge hammer either.
