Thats funny.
I live just outside of Winston-Salem, NC and like you don't know of many folks in the Carolinas who collect TV's. Many more Radio collectors though.
Those were nice TV's ... but where are we going to put them? Wife says enough is enough :-)

Carl, I didn't remember that you were that close by. Small world!
Yeah, I just can't do it anymore Carl! I used to get to cramped up and I would part out one of my worst sets just for room. I simply can not break apart a nice Space Command from the fifties and a like new 24 inch CRT. I guess I can give it to a Goodwill where it will probably go in the dumpster. At least I won't know! Then I feel like if it's going to a dumpster than I should at least save the CRT. I REALLY should just repair it, but I have become interested in other sets and the Zenith had some mystery problems that I never figured out with my training and skills at that time. I am graduating an electronics degree program in the Spring. Between that and HS electronics, I should be able to find a mystery short in a TV and get vertical sweep. With low use on the chassis, fly, and CRT, the set would make an excellent daily user. Now I REALLY want that Philco. I mean the set is playing in the picture for $50!
As for a wife, I am scared to even bring a woman to my house. People seem to, well, not get it when it comes to reasoning why someone captivated by TV sets form before their birth. I can see a woman telling me that my stuff is junk; so I will put her out on the curb.....
