I found one set on May 15th that I didn't post till now. It was in Morton Grove at 5847 Reba St. Typical untouched suburban 50's home. I found a nice 19" steel cabinet zenith luggable on the cart in the basement. It was $10 so I bought that. Then they wanted $5.00 for the cart! I hate it when they price them seperate and the cart is always disproprotionally priced with respect to the TV if you know what I mean. It was all half off so the whole deal cost me $7.50. I brought the TV home plugged it in and is it a typical Zenith? NO! This one actually doesn't work! I guess its to be expected that some fall through the cracks....No picture but good sound. Should be an easy fix, it doesn't look like the TV saw any hack work and everything is still intact.

This past Saturday I went to a sale in Westchester at 1942 Balmoral Ave. I picked up a 1966 Admiral color console. It was one of those rare TV's that happened to live its life in the front room since day one. Its decent, has a few vacuum cleaner gouges under the cabinet and some bubbling cateracts going on, but its a low hour set and the thing works. They must not have been TV people as all of the original admiral tubes are still in the chassis. It should clean up well, very dusty inside.
