I'm currently watching a First Gen. colour set from 1967, a Thorn 2000. It allegedly was the first fully transistorised (No Tubes--how Boring) colour set in the world....
2 days left, and its up to £300. (Prob about $400)
Absolute lunacy IMHO.
First gen (We started colour broadcasts in 1967 ish), dual-standard (405/625 line VHF/UHF) sets were generally valve/hybrid sets, and again horrendous prices....
Ive been after a Philips G6 hybrid colour set ('67-69 vintage) for some years, preferably the later single-standard 22" one.
A year or two back some Muppet offered me one that had stood in a damp garage for 10 years, under a pile of other sets--and with a faulty flyback, and unknown CRT condition for £450--I told him where to go!
So--say, $200 for one of your nice roundies would be heaven on earth, but here it ain't ever gonna happen!
