I was so busy yesterday that I didn't get a chance to really check the sets out, but at least they REALLY ARE old metal sets! One is a mid-50s Zenith table model 17", one is an RCA 14" metal late 50s portable, a Philco Seventeener (the one with the Predicta tube in it!!!!!), and also one of those RCA 8-PT-xxx 8" metal portables with the flip-up door on top for the controls. Nice shape too! Also a box of tubes, and a dozen 50s/60s 5-tube radios. I'll get photos ASAP, but I'm on the run again today, as we're trying to get two vacant apartments in Simi Valley and Chatsworth ready to rent by the 1st.

Out in the sticks, you do like Charles and shoot it up with a gun and either put the remains in the dumpster (if you have one) or bury what's left in the back yard.

Or if the environmentalists get on my nerves too much, heave the sets into the creek, and next winter, the greenies down at Malibu Beach can deal with them
