I can remember when I was at the first or 2nd ETF dinner an older fellow at the table said he had 300 tvs and about 1500 radios. Someone asked what was to become of the tvs when he died and he said he set up a trust where his relatives can't touch them. I only had 10-12 tvs back then. I can also remember a yersar earlier picking up some tvs on Long Island and telling the guy I had 7 tvs and he said "I have more tvs then that in my kitchen".

All collectors can relate to that. It's all about the "next one". I started at 12 wanting ONE old radio to put on top of my dresser like my cousin had. I got one and soon had two, then four.... Every place I've lived since then I have been surrounded with these old sets. I have 44 sets (5 TV's) now, but if I had kept all them I would easily have double that. It's only space that limits me. Even now with my apartment packed full, I have my eye on a '39 Zenith console! I don't try to to justify it, I just know I'm having a good time with it - and that is all that matters!
