People on ebay expecting too much?

[tvcollector]

In Florida, tube indeed is VERY scarce.. Last time I saw a Hybrid tube set from the early 1970s was in the late 1980s, and it was a table top I think 25 inch or around there in a steal cabinet, that I found off the side of the road, I had help lugging it home being only 11 years old, I remember the set being pretty big.. Hooked the Atari 7800 up to it, and a picture never came on, was only sound, and it went right back into the garbage.. I use to see some Console tube sets around the late 1980s and early 90s in junk piles and in thrift shops.. But now I've been lucky lately with Craigslist with color roundies, and most of them were transplants from other states.. I see more smaller B/W sets from the late 40s, early 50s, on my local Craigslist more than anything else, and combo units.. Florida Doesn't have basements, so I assume that's one reason why they are scarce..
