YES! that was an April Fool posting... I took that photo about 18 years ago when I hauled that set home from Northern Cal in my '77 Eldorado. It was a job and a half to get that TV safely in there! The set is now with Dan Iacopi. Does yours have the screwhead CRT still in it? Dan's does, and it had been VacuSealed. Last time I checked it by driving it with a CT-100 chassis, the tube was very good. It got thrown around in the '94 earthquake though, enough to rip some of the screws holding the side panels out. But the CRT seemed to have survied that, thank Goodness.
Yours is only the second one I've seen, and the third heard of. Ed Reitan mentioned many years ago that there was one in Chicago... Yours?
