This thread reminds me of the day about 4 years ago I walked into the Salvation Army Thrift Store and found two color roundie sets for $20 each. There was a Dumont dark and I think a Silvertone blonde. These sets were straight out of some old (probably dead) rich folks house I would say because they were the HUGE TV/record player/AMFM stereo jobs, and in pristine condition. It made me sick because I could not lug these sets home. Not even one. Just too bigand SUPER heavy. The Dumont would have been the set of choice. It just had plug me in and watch me play written all over it. I never did plug either in, but I did save them from the landfill by calling a well to do collector with (naturally) more space who came (quickly) for these two sets. After that all I have found is a 1958 Zenith Space Command that gave me fits. Never got that one working after an almost complete recap. Seems like old set finds are thinning out.
