That Magnavox is really a beautiful television.
While I was looking at the picture of this set, I could not avoid some thinking to come to my mind: we, the TV collector guys, we are really a very unusual brand of people, aren't we? I take myself as an example. The vast majority of people care nothing about those old TV sets, but me... well, I came to the conclusion that at this point in my life, there's only one thing that makes me feel more enthusiastic about than a nice and rare vintage television set, and that only thing are pretty ladies.
When I am hunting for vintage televisions, it seems like an adventure to me, I go to some very odd places for finding some sets. I almost feel like I were some sort of Indiana Jones, no kidding, because I believe that collecting those old devices is somewhat akin to archeology. I really feel that way, that we are doing a kind of archeological job on finding, rescuing and collecting these TVs. If it were not for people like us, most likely in 50 years from now the only way the people of the future could see a TV set from 1950 would be by looking at photographs.
