Here is the 108 I brought home from Wisconsin a few years ago.

I haven't restored it yet, but power it up every so often. The radio has a wonderful sound and the crt does light and shows snow. When I first got it, it would pick up a signal but in really needs a recap to function as it should. She is a beauty though.

I have been debating on whether to find another home for it. The tv collection has expanded into a storage unit from my house and garage. The other half has been getting on me.

It is so hard to let these go. They have to go to a good home.

I just started collecting and already have 5 sets! I could see that happening easily.

I am trying to find the EXACT Dumont that my mother had. Not the one with the 45 player. Very tempting though!!!
