The guy says the thing weighs 100 lbs. I tend to differ. That is a DuMont. I dont know if they made anything 100lbs back in those years. That thing is in great shape. Even still has the rubber sheath on the bell of the metal cone crt. I had an RA-109A that I bought back in the early 80's (showing my age-37 I started this hobby young). At THAT time the thing had been in rough storage for probably 25 years and I gave her a straight shot of 110 and that darn thing tried its darndest to work. I had AM-FM-TV sound, and a raster. Just never had video. This set was severely neglected. Spent a day pulling rhodent nesting and crap out of a rusting chassis.

Whoever gets this set will have the coolest of cool and the best of the best. I would LOVE to have another. Especially if its only 100lbs.

( I bet the power transformer alone in my long lost 109 weighed 25 lbs.)
