ARCI 2010 (televisions)
I spent a few hours at the Antique Radio Club of Illinois RadioFest this morning and took a bunch of pictures. There were so many TVs I figured I'd post them here and the radios over in the antique radio forum.
What I found really amazing is that almost all the TVs were very collectable models, in good condition at reasonable prices. I stuck to my guns and didn't buy any... Here we go! Here's the first set I spied - a "Super Crosley"  Next up, an early RCA combo that was already sold. Anyone know the model # ? I couldn't find it at tvhistory.tv  Here's a cool "Chinese" Stromberg Carlson   Hotpoint portable  Predicta Pedistal - $475. Later marked down to $350 IIRC  Crosley, 630TS clone - $150  Tele-Tone - sorry for the bad focus  RCA 621TS - $1,500 asking price. So tempting, but I couldn't swing that kind of $$  Philco Safari - $295  Motorola 7" suitcase set, fully restored - $300  I'd love to get one of these clocks someday - $295  Not bad for a "radio" fest  Here's the whole gallery of photos I took.

What were some of the other prices for the tvs? I can almost read those tags and if I am seeing them correctly, they are really cheap-well, cheaper than comparable models have been going for on ebay...

Bob:
I wish I would have known that you were there, I would have liked to meet you in person. It was sort of like a mini ETF convention, at least 10 people were there that usually attent ETF. I too was good, I bought nothing! Steve

I actually did pick up some much needed odds and ends. 7C7 for a Philco 46-420, tube shield for a Sparton, power resistor for an Admiral TV and best of all - an RCA UX-280 for my Westinghouse WR-8.
All the 6SL7s and 12SN7s had been cleared out by the 'audiophiles' earlier in the morning  Those 6X5s are the X plate variety.  It tests like new  These are such a pain to find these days.

Some very nice merchandise! Wish I could be there!
The RCA console is a 641; uses a 630 chassis, apparently were made beyond '46. I sold mine earlier this year. Between the Crosley 630 clone and the Teletone sits a National boatanchor that grabs my attention. I have a similiar model...great radio, and worked well until I decided to fix it

They were plenty of radios and test equipment under $50. I forgot to take any pictures of that stuff, but I do recall seeing EICO 324 RF generators, several tube testeters, VTVMs and so on.
I'm not sure why they hold the main events on Friday and not Sat/Sun. Maybe something to do with the hotel arrangements

Yikes! I didn't check on the asking price at the fest, but I bet it was a lot less than that.
