Tough. On one hand, who among us would really save this set? If it were to land on your doorstep tomorrow, could you give it a permanent home? It's big; the cabinet is of finest American particle board and plastic. If it showed up at my house I could maybe make room in the shed for it, maybe for a week or 2, but it couldn't stay here. Recent example: had a Magnavox, very similiar to this, sitting right here in the house earlier this year. Solid state, pre-Philips, nice cabinet, working remote set. You know where it is now? Hint: despite months of trying, NOBODY-REPEAT-NOBODY ON THIS FORUM OR ANYWHERE ELSE I POSTED EVEN RESPONDED TO MY PLEAS TO COME AND RESCUE IT! Sorry, got a little angry for a second there! That set is now gone to TV heaven. There are plenty of sets out there that nobody is going to save. The worst are 21" black and white sets, and any solid state color console. There are a limited number of sets that folks will really go out of their way for: round-tube sets, either bw or color; Predictas; numerous fifties portables; nicer examples of rectangular tube color sets.
Did someone say they'd have given $300 for that set? Really? Lay the cash on the barrelhead, son, and Bryan here will find you a 70s solid state color set! Get your orders in now!
Okay, I'll now return to my usual calm state!
