TRK90 on eBay

[Eric H]

Wow, just wow!
Awesome set.

The way the CRT just hangs out there scares me to death though.

Aww, Chit !! That damthaing's ASKIN' for it...

The back is there and the 'cup' will keep the tube relatively well protected--as long as some clod doesn't snap the neck while it's still off.

I'd love to have such a beautiful set, but I'm afraid I won't be bidding.

Holy Battleships, Batman!! The radio even comes with a Captain Nemo style motorized tuner.

Wrong side of North America for me, so I won't be tempted to break my "no more TVs in 2011" vow.

Anyone want to loan me some money I wish I had the doe for this one, two kids in college is taking care of that right know. What a nice set!!

How High do you think it will go?

Oooof! A TRK-90. That's all I need.

Really. That's all I need!

[Phil Nelson]

You do need it. If I lived as close as you do, I'd be making an appointment to inspect it in person.

Sometimes those meetings get a little hectic. Maybe a few thousand dollars falls out of your jeans. Maybe the owner spies money on the floor and picks it up, saying, "I wonder where that came from?" Maybe when you get home, you notice that there is an old TV in the back of your truck. "Now, how the heck did that get in there?" It can all be terribly confusing.

I would never encourage a seller to violate eBay rules, of course, but I have heard of Bad People who try such tricks.

High, but probably not as high as the last TRK-9 on ebay a few years ago.
You can never tell with these things, depends on who's in the market when one comes up for sale.

What did the last TRK9 go for?

[jeyurkon]

It looks very similar to the Westinghouse WRT-702 with only a few minor differences in a bezel and cabinet.

I wonder if the chassis are the same?

The Westinghouse and Silvertone sets were RCA electronics in different style cabinets.

Wow! $4k with 4+ days to go and the guy isn't offering to cooperate with shipping. I am truly astonished. Is this more or less rare/desirable than a TRK-12? This vintage TV thing if far more intense than I could have ever imagined.

No worse than some audiophool lusting after a mint MC275, I figure. Wouldn't have one for sale now, wouldya? lol
