"I realize it's hard not to be jealous of those with money elsewhere in the world, but don't let those bloody frogs (British humor) become a magnet for your emotions." By Einar72

To be quite honest, it is not a matter of money jealousy, although, yes, I would have loved to have been able to own this set.

I just simply expressed my disgust at that set being removed from the U.S. and my further irritation for being chided for making that expression.

I know I cannot save all the sets (as my better half keeps reminding me) and as much as I would like to. I just hate to see those rare pieces of American electronics history leave. If the U.S. was a war torn country or people here were on rampage to destroy all of the historical items of this country, that would be another issue and of course I would want those things saved. But that isn't the issue. I know these radios, tv's, tape decks, etc hardly compare to a Ming vase or to a bust of George Washington, but they are part of a technological evolution that was truly brought to fruition here in the States, fueled the world and is truly part of American history.

That is my frustration and irritation with that set leaving the States. As far as it belonging to a frenchman, that is irrelavent. I just wish it was a frenchman in the States.
