Bad News for me

[julianburke]

Well folks, Here's some very bad news for me. Several weeks ago I put an ad in the classified section here to thin out a few of my roundie color sets and those sets were completely destroyed. Last Saturday night (April 11) my main warehouse caught fire and the main building is a total loss. I lost about 11 color sets to include a RCA TM21 color monitor, 1948 SABA projection set with wired remote, Beautiful blonde CTC4, TK14 camera, TK44's, TK45's and about 8 complete TK47 chains and a perfect DuMont CCU to name just a few items. Most of my military radio collection is lost among thousands of other items of antique computers, pinball machines, jukebox, parts and thousands more. I plan to rebuild and house items from my other warehouses. Yes I have insurance but it is never enough.
Yes, I am still sick but will try to recover. It was all over the news here but here is one of several on the internet:

UPDATE: A fire inspector let me in the office part and recovered a few items to include 3 each NOS military gensets. (PE162's for the ANG 9 radio systems from 1952) The mil wraps on them was burned off and the canvas covers was burned but the gensets survived quite well, need cleaning and some minor OD green repainted. I also found other valuable items (ruined) that I didn't know was in there and the TM21 RCA monitor was a 1957 model (21 inch-NOT the TM10 which is a 15 inch. (My 15 inch TM10 was in another building) It was totally destroyed as the fire dept sent in a skid steer loader and moved out a lot of debris which was done after I left at around 1:00 in the morning and it destroyed everything it moved out to include a "Funhouse" pinball machine that had a lot of salvage in it. I lost 8 nice pinball machines and much more was lost forever.
