My best advice is either save up your money to buy one from another collector, or just bide your time and one will eventually come to you. Round sets are getting very scarce, and people are not letting them go for cheap....

Wow Goodwill! The Goodwills around here won't even take solid state tvs with turn knob tuners on them. "Too old can't sell em" I was told when I tried to donate them. Had to use freecycle to get rid of those sets.Now they don't even sell 45 rpm records.Either someone doing the taking in is rejecting them or someone working there is scarfing em' up or they're going directly to ebay.Probably both of the latter. Haven't seen one in Goodwill for a year. But that's another subject.For that matter no vintage electronics show up in my local Goodwill so I rarely have a reason to go in there anymore.Even Salvation Army just has BPC electronics anymore.
