BOMBSHELL: Meissner prewar TV now on eBay

[kx250rider]

As I had mentioned subtly in a previous thread, here it is! This is Gary Miller's set, which he asked me to put up on eBay for him. It's listed with an $8000 reserve, which eBay rules prevent from being disclosed in the ad. He is hoping it will go beyond that, but he won't take less.

Nobody seems to know the history on it before Gary bought it in 1991 from Alan Kleiman in LA. It has had 1980s vintage work done (a few new caps), so it must have belonged to a collector or maybe a HAM radio guy, or somebody. Alan told me back than that he got it locally, but wouldn't say from whom. I bet it might have been Kent Warner's estate, or from a third party who got it from there...

One purpose of this posting is to ask that nobody bug Gary about selling it outside of eBay. That won't happen. There are several collectors who were aware that the set was to be sold within the past few months who did not act on it but were considering, so in fairness to all and to prevent favoritism, the eBay auction will go forth. Thank you for your understanding. Gary does welcome any serious would-be bidders to come see it.

It will be interesting to see where it goes, both monetarily and geographically.
