Your Clifton only has 5 small knobs in the center versus the six knobs on the other two. I wonder what the difference is?
Congratulations! I've also been searching for a Clifton or Manchu for years. I wonder who will get the third and last tomorrow morning ?

Anyway, you could be getting these sets as soon as late May - including the super special mystery RCA portable, awarded to the guy with the highest blood pressure.

Nice! I'm working on moving some sets out to make room already Are you implying the sodium levels in ramen elevates blood pressure? Maybe I'll go with brown rice and beans instead

Looking forward to the mystery set. I definitely enjoy mystery finds way more than well publicized auctions.

Now that's funny. I don't think you'll ever be finished with your collection. Seems like there's always one more to get.

Congratulations on the Clifton and Motorolas.
Well at least for now my bucket list has been completed far sooner than I ever expected.

I felt sorry for the poor Motorolas after no one bid on them at the opening price. I figure they're good for spare parts and CRTs and the blonde cabinet looks pretty good.
