How do you find sets in your area?
I would love to find a color roundie but I don't ever see anthing but bpc in the trash on my travels.I must say that this area(lower eastern shore of Maryland) is the worst area there is for finding old tvs. Another thing is I am required to work on Saturdays so I can't go to estate sales,garage or yard sales and the flea market on that day.I admit I don't get out much to look on Sundays either.I don't want to fill my house with sets as some of you do.I have enough jukeboxes,record players and stereo equipment for that. I've seen more jukeboxes within driving distance on ebay and craigslist than old tvs.
I admit when I got into jukes I kinda quit messing with old sets and gave them away(late 60s and early 70s tube and hybrid and working solid state tvs)The nonworking solid states and about 70 nonworking vcrs went to the landfill.
I kept this 1 57 Hotpoint b/w tv and I'm having fun working on it. I figured it's time to look for one of the sets I drooled over in the storage room at my high school vo tech electronics class. I almost got one a little over 20 years ago but someone came out and said to leave it alone and get off their property.Last roundie I seen in person until I went to Bryan Gadow's house one time to test some older tubes for a 30s Wurlitzer jukebox.
