Finally got a reply from him
I sent 4 emails to the seller and it took almost 2 weeks for the reply to come back. I have pasted the reply below. At $700 I am going to take a pass. It is a nice set but surely it is not that valuable and it is too far away to spend that kind of money and then have to pay to ship it besides. If I was in the area I might consider it but not at $700 plus shipping expense.

Hi All- I apologize for the delay in response, let me explain what's going on with this television set.
Some history:
I am selling it for a friend who just took over ownership of a historic building in Saratoga Springs (built in 1832). This TV was left in the building, in the apartment of the prior owner, an elderly woman.
He is doing some renovations and wanted me to list it on Craigslist. Shortly after I listed it, his Architect for the building came in and mentioned to him this is a collectible, in absolutely fantastic condition and should take no less than 700 dollars for it.
I'd like to get this sold as soon as possible, I did get many responses-- so any of the gentlemen on this list who are still interested, please give me a call back to discuss.
I'd like to get all highest offers by this weekend, if possible. It would sweeten the pot if you had any vintage audio equipment (Amplifiers, receivers, turntables, etc.- and most of all speakers) Both my friend and I are very much into vintage audio equipment and anything audio-related.
Please note that I'll have higher- resolution images of the set as soon as possible- that I can email you back if interested.
**The Legs, and original REMOTE and extended warranty document dated 1959 are included.**
I apologize for the delay, please let me know if you have any questions, clarification requests, etc- I would be glad to help in any way possible.
