Nothing wrong with that. Happened to all of us

We need more boatanchor collectors! Phil Nelson was one until he drifted over to the TV side. His boatanchor restoration articles are still some of the best out there!

I got two boat anchors last Holiday Season (I can be politically correct and
accurate here since one was really truly for Christmas and one for New Year's.)

Really, its not a disease. Good ones are really fun. I got an SP600 and then an R390A. If you can restore a TV you can restore one of these. If you can restore both of these you can restore a CT-100. A Cossar 137T, maybe not.

The R390A is really fun to use!

A good boat anchor is a National NC-173 and even better the NC-183 but either are nice.

Saw several sets and most sold or were sold already , a dumont ra-103d , 12" Zenith porthole leatherette , Crosley 7" , hallicrafters 7" , RCA 9-T-246 for $20 that was in great condition , a mid 50's Zenith 21" labeled " zenith old ass tv $30 " , a couple 17" predictas , emerson 7" , a couple 3" pilots , 7" motorola suitcase , others that i can't think of including some free ones which were a tele tone 17" , admiral 12" phono radio combo , zenith late 50's remote 21" table set .
