One problem I saw right away when I looked at the ad for this TV was the cataract on the CRT, which is probably one reason the set is being sold so cheaply; another may be the questionable condition of the TV and stereo, given the age of the TV (at least 45 years). This set being a 3-way console, I doubt the ad will get many takers outside the greater Salt Lake metro area.

Times have changed radically since this TV was new. Console TVs, radios, stereos, et al. do not usually sell well on any auction site or on Craigslist because they are so large and heavy, and because no one (except perhaps vintage TV collectors) are interested in these anymore. The trend today is flat-screen TVs and separate audio components in entertainment center cabinets or on stands; in fact, as we know, flat TVs are all that are available nowadays if you want a new set -- they just don't make CRT TVs anymore. No one wants the big space-hogging 3-way color TV consoles these days -- that's just how it is in the 21st century.

I hate to say this, but I think this console may well wind up on the owner's treelawn on the way to the town dump if it doesn't sell soon.
