And a portion of Kent Warner's article from the book "TV Book". These and a few others, including the late Ed Reitan, & Gary Hough are the early pioneers of vintage TV collecting long before the internet. Sorry to say when I visited Kent Warner's home back in the 70's I didn't have a camera w/me. I know of no other photos other than the TV Guide article and TV Book photo.

Interesting Steve. So great that you got to see Kent's collection. It would be great to scan in the other couple of pages for those interested to see too. Next to the TV Guide piece and the book, I personally can't think of an earlier article on vintage TV collecting. I would also include Dan Gustafson as an early serious TV collector. I have a few pages from Video magazine from the early '80's that mentioned his collection - another interesting piece that first whetted my interest!
