Steve D is correct all the way.

After the buyer won the auction, I got an email explaining what movie it was to be in and to look out for it. That never happend...

After the email offering the chassis back for free+shipping I went off on him. I was polite but wanted to know why he had to destroy such a mint TV with all its papers.

His responce was exactly what steve said. It would cost too much to take a risk of the set breaking down durring a take.

I had too many sets then thats why it went on ebay. If I had know that was what was going to happen, I would have certianly kept it.

Maybe you can email the buyer and ask what his plans are for the set. If however and hopefully not they decide to part out the chassis and CRT he will probably give it away.

If the zenith roundie goes back up, I will bid on it to save it from destruction of prop suppliers!
