Glen waters has an extensive website he's all about the Curtis Mathes sets. a Zillion
pictures , brochures ads etc he's probably got most of the ones that are still working
in his collection. His web site is quite interesting .

That's what I've noticed about some clubs online, they're so happy clappy about how if you have a Whatever, join the fun. Then they diss everyone except about 20 regular members. I had a Curtis Mathes stereo with tape that I swapped for an empty Sylvania tv console. The man I got the CM from said it was playing moments before I got it, none of the speakers seemed to be hooked up and I can't fix anything, and no good place to store it. I have better luck here than anywhere else, just as a collector.

Don't listen to Sandy - that bridge is 129 years old today, and the price will undoubtedly drop when it reaches 130 (besides, I have the deed proving it was sold to me when it was only 100).

IMO, the CM upright, RCA clone, console pictured in Tom S. post is one of the more attractive CM roundies. Most were ugly, oversized, top heavy monsters.
