Last week a friend of mine who knew i liked old tv sets told me that she knew someone with a really old wood cabinet set that could be for sale. She couldn't remember the brand but said it was wood upright cabinet where the crt faced up and you watched the screen on a mirror attached to the lid. My first thought was OMG! a RCA trk-12!?!? Well no but it is a 1949 Sparton 4940 in pretty nice condition. the thing that amazed me was that it has channel 1 thru channel 8 on the dial. I thought channel 1 was dead before 49. He didn't exactly say how much he wanted for it but i "think" he would take a few benjamins for it. I don't have the room for it and am not making any commission for letting any of y'all know about it. here are a few pics.
