it's actually owned by the ETF society in Hilliard Ohio. a very nice and desirable set, but unfortunately out of the price range of most regular collectors. it will be interesting to see how many times they will have to drop the price before it sells. it started out at 40 thousand

It may not actually be owned by the ETF itself. None of us know for sure.

The set is from the estate of Ed Reitan. It was in our recent auction and didn't make the reserve. We are helping them sell the set.

A set like that is for consideration to only a very few deep-pocketed collectors or institutions. It should be on display in a museum and not again disappear into someone's private collection for decades. It would be awesome to be bought by NBC and put on display in the lobby in the RCA building in NYC surrounded by artifacts and photos of TV's early development. Visitors would be in awe.

I think people in hell have a better chance of seeing the Good Humor man. Just my opinion.

An 1976 erra Apple computer sold for $365,000 at Christie's auction last year. They estimated there were about 50 of these Apples surviving. Fewer people know about television history. The historical significance combined with the early technology is what makes this set unique. I agree wit Decojoe67 it belongs on display to the public and not in a private collection.
