Mike,
Fourteen years? Awesome! I have only been collecting for ~6 years and of those years I haven't added to my collection appreciably in the last three due to a lack of play money. I did work very hard with lots of driving to put together the modest collection I have now (about 50-60 round screen sets) and am resisting the temptation to part it out for a profit. I figure as a whole it is something of value and I mean that in the other ways besides monetary as well!
Like you there's no way that I'm going to get all of mine restored and frankly I'm not troubled by that. Undisturbed vintage TV's, er by then they will be antique TV's, will be more attractive to collectors in the future I tell myself anyhow.
Fourteen years ago there were many more vintage sets to be found at good prices. Why don't you share more pictures and descriptions of your collection. We'd love to see it!
