You should have stuck around, the club table had a load of cool stuff at it still when dollar time began. Even when it became "Distributed Garbage Removal Time! Please, just take it away!" there were still useful things to be had, both small
and large. I mostly loaded up on the small freebies this time around, on top of the $24 worth of dollar time purchases I had already schlepped over to the car...
Today could have been worse. It didn't rain, it wasn't unbearably humid, and the temperature was nice up until about 90 minutes before the dealer raffle drawing.
I'll post a more comprehensive list with photos later on, but I came home with two medium tube caddies; one Sylvania in "fair" aesthetic condition, solid mechanical condition, and one Zenith in very good condition all around. In the same theme I picked up a Zenith serviceman's caddy (Designed for the solid state era inside, by the looks of things.) in excellent condition. Finally found an AM/FM Bakelite cabinet radio in straight forward restoration condition, which also happens to be Zenith, and then I took pity on the B&W Zenith portable (1981 vintage) that was still at the club table. Zenith turned out to be my theme today. I also grabbed another Riders TV manual, Volume 8 this time,(If I get one volume every Kutztown, assuming no duplicates I'll have more than half of a complete set by 2020 I think.) and one of the "3 neons and a meter" style B&K CRT testers in unknown internal condition. I'll dig that out tomorrow and figure out if its worth overhauling or not. (Dollar Time score.)
