Saw an ad for an estate sale in another city. Said large 50's console Tv was in the sale. I really had to see what it was. Dreams of 50's color set was in my mind all night. Got up at 5am this morning at left out at 6am. Had to drive a little over 100 miles to get to the sale. Got there a hour early after having breakfast. (Coke and Snickers) Was 4th in line to view the contents of the house. In the living room sat the set. The set is a early to mid 60's B/W Motorola. Said it was designed by the furniture maker Drexel. Drexel is known for high end furniture. The set was in really nice condition but not working. Felt it was a really cool set and I had to add it to the collection. Actually the story to the wife is that it followed me home!!! hahahahahah I believe the cabinet is walnut. The wood is a very dark brown. Will have to post a picture tomorrow when I get it off the truck. Is there another out there?
Out and about today I saw a pink and black Silvertone Suburbanite, A 50T???? Philco, A philco Seventeener. Each set did not work and they wanted $150.00 for each set. Kind of high I thought. Paid much less for the Motorola. polaraman
