Wonderful score today

A friend went to a estate sale yesterday and sent out an email afterward to everyone in our club that there was "an old TV with a 3-inch screen in rough shape" there if anyone was interested. It was only a few miles from my house, so figuring that I could always use another Pilot set or postwar TV-school kit set if the price was right, I took a ride over. I got there several hours after the start of the last day of the sale and the place was looking pretty picked over.

Instead of a Pilot I found this Andrea 1-F-5:



If I had seen this last week, it might have caused me to have a heart attack! Fortunately this week I was prepared for my heart to be pounding in my ears as I went back upstairs to negotiate a price.

New Jersey may have it's faults (Bridgegate anyone?) but it continues to be possible to trip over fabulous old TVs here.
