He ruined a very beautiful vintage TV
Look at this ebay auction:
http://cgi.ebay.com/1948-Philco-Comb...QQcmdZViewItem Isn't that disgusting? And after the heinous crime he commited against such a desirable set, he still wants for it the same price it cost when new! Shame on him!!!

Oh well. Shame on me, too. I didn't noticed that there was already a thread about this same auction.

my reply:
"Play "I Love Lucy" and "Texaco Star Theater" the way they should be seen" if that's REALLY what you intended, then you would have left the original electronics in it. shame on you for ruining such a nice set by shoving a made-in-china piece of crap into it.

Hope the bidder is someone who wants to invest time and money looking for a CRT and to bring back that TV to it's normal condition.

The cabinet is beautiful; perhaps a collector with the same set in not nearly so nice condition wants it for an innards swap. That's my hope....

Lots of people buy things like that for visual reasons only. Even if it was 100% original, there is a fair chance that the buyer wouldn't use it. It probably will actually have a slightly higher amount of use with those modern guts stuck in there.
