Estate Sale Finds in 2010!

[marty59]

I always look forward to this estate sale thread!

I managed to pick up a 57' Zenith Z300E chassis 17Z22Q with the "Space Commander 200" (with remote!) that I had been interested in for the last few weeks. It's a faux blond wood finish metal cabinet that sits on a wooden pedastal. Has a water mark on the top that's down to the metal..ugh.

Nice folks to talk with and they let me pop off the back. Brightner present but with my checker just being turned on the emission showed signs of increasing, but tracking was down still, but potential! Had not been used in years.. They wanted $125.00 for it! I honestly and politely told them I would give them half but no more and they declined.

So after they were "stuck" with it they emailed me with a counter offer of $75.00....well, I bit. I like the TV and it will be a fun project, I'll have to repaint the cabinet... just match it up as close as possible..It'll look good!
