My God my back is sore!

[Kamakiri]

Got an odd call yesterday from a friend about a TV stash, an estate of a former repairman.

There must have been at least 30 consoles, I kid you not. Table models, probably around the same amount. I guess he'd sold about 15 table model 50s B&W sets before I got there, to a local collector.

Came home with a few treasures, a pair of RCA CTC-36 portables in great shape, a GE VIR 19" set, a Philco 23" b/w console, a Portacolor, and an RCA CTC-25 console. Plugged in one of the CTC-36 portables for the heck of it, and she came right up

There's a CTC-4 "Director", and a CTC-11 still there, both missing the chassis, but I believe I found the chassis to the 4 in the garage. Both cabinets are in respectable shape. He was asking $100-$150 each for them, but I passed for now. Also spotted a nice Admiral 19A12. Of the other rectangular tube sets there, he also had 3 or 4 Quasar tube consoles, a couple Zeniths (late 60s I'd guess), a Curtis Mathes, and a couple others. Some were solid state as well.

Post yer "wish lists now".....but you gotta pick them up at my place . I'll post pics when I can, my back is friggin KILLING me!
