I guess these sets aren't gonna get a buyer! I must be used to the rarity of roundies up here that I forget other places have more. I have often paid $100 or more just because it's a roundie. I looked for over three years until I found my first one in 1983. As for the portables, Seattle has a wierd kitschy/shabby-chic fettish that jacks the price of old portables and table models. A popular trendy-spot decoration here is a mid-fifties TV with the horizontal-hold deliberately misadjusted. Local "artists" take and mutilate them beyond repair to make a point about TV "culture", I've even seen one metal RCA that someone had (rather skillfully) welded the tailfins off of a '55 Cadillac onto the back of! BTW, Seattle didn't have scheduled telecasting until Thanksgiving 1948. Weren't that many people here (unlike now) to buy the sets that were on sale at the time.
