Thanks to oldradio99 and wiscojim, I received a tip about a Scott projection set in miserable condition and some TV test equipment. I made arrangements for a visit and stopped by earlier today.
It turned out to be a little storefront / home that needs to be cleaned out in a few weeks for the new owner. I spent a few hours helping sort through stuff, offering my opinions on value and setting aside a few items for myself. They seemed genuinely surprised I offered as much money as I did for the lot. So both parties think they got a good deal
Here are some photos I took while poking around in the basement.
They had a matching pair of these Sentinel TV cabinets. Too bad they were empty and water damaged. At least I managed to salvage the big field coil speaker from one of them.
Sonora pink & white portable. It's a mess but kinda cute so I brought it home.
Big light bulb collection
Airline 7" portable set.
Air conditioning compressor ?
Little amplifier
They had a few 8-track players, but they were already spoken for.
Pink light bulbs from the 50s-60s ?
