Neither of you Steves want it? Both of you are crazy. :P I contacted the seller and asked him about shipping, and he said he'd ship it if I can and if I'll pay for it. It will be $172 to ship a 150lb 35x30x30 package from North Hills, California to where I am in Pennsylvania.
He said that the picture is dim and out of focus. Focus can be adjusted, but if it's going dim it seems like I'll have to pay lots to get it rebuilt, if I can get it rebuilt...
I'll gladly pay the shipping, and give this nice TV a good home, right by my RCA 630TS clone I recently just finished recapping.
I do want a beautiful prewar RCA TT-5, but thats like asking for world piece.
I wanted a CT-100, but they are super rare as well, but a bit easier to get.
These beautiful round color screen TVs are quite appealing to me. Restoring it would be heaps of fun, as well as money, and effort, but when I see a beautiful color raster, it will be 100% worth it.
If none of you guys really want it, I'll gladly take it.
