Huge Lot of Vintage Sets in Wisconsin!

The table set in the second pics is a GE could be a 21T054, 21T055, 21
t060, or 21T061. All had the U chassis and could have a 21ATP4 or 21BTP4. The console is a Hotpoint 21S551. I think it used the U2 chassis. If so it has a 21CZP4. I don't think any of those will sub for a Predicta will they?

I wouldn't mind having either one of those sets. Personally I think there's several nice looking sets there that look pretty restorable. But, I realize I kinda go for the boring and they're not worth much. To each their own I guess.

21A/BTP4 - 90 degrees

21CZP4 is 110 degrees and might work, i couldn't find exact data on it.

I see a Hoffman there (right side of first pix) wouldn't that be a fairly unusual find that far from the West coast?

I dunno, Boys. I I think this ebayer better take the needle out of his arm.

He might sell one or two, but nobody is going to take the entire deal for $200.

That color roundie looks just like a Philco I picked up for Nick W. once. I don't see much that trips my trigger.

A person could probably squeeze out $200 worth of parts if some of the CRT's are good, problem is transporting and storing all those sets, or storing the CRT's for later use, then disposing of what you don't want or can't use.
And of course $200 isn't even the price, I suspect the reserve will be much higher.

They all pretty much looked like they had just been kept around for parts use and not to eventually try to fix up.

Some had backs and other parts missing, beat-up cabinets, mold and other water damage. The boxed CRTs were all rectangular, definitely used, and had been sitting in water for some time.

The only color set was indeed a very low-end Silvertone. Judging by the condition of all the sets, I didn't even bother testing the CRT in it.

No diamonds in the rough in this lot.

At least it was a nice day for a drive.

Yup, same one. 17MT80, if memory serves.

Thanks for the report, Jim! At least you enjoyed the drive.

I doubt he even gets his opening bid, let alone one reaching his reserve.

Auction ended with no bids. Seller relisted it as a 10-day auction, starting at $200, and again with a reserve.

I don't guess he took the hint the first time around. I see one or two sets that I wouldn't mind having, but the majority of these sets are very common ones that can be easily found in better condition.

The CRT in the Predicta has a different pin-out. Also, a longer neck.

Second eBay auction again resulted in no opening bid.

Maybe it's time to give the guy a call and make him an offer, like you'll come back and make them go away if he wants.
