thats a little one.
all i have to do is tell my ham radio friends that i need some help bringing home the magnavox combo at the shop and the laughing starts.
they helped me put it in a van and unload it at the shop when it was given to me.talk about grumbling and cussing!
over 8 feet long and estimated 350 pounds.
you have it easy with this one!
btw how does one ship such a unit?
i have a lady in so cal that wants to send one here to be rebuilt.
i suggested she find someome local but canot find anyone.
ps the pic on that one looks good .
most of the work will be getting it home in one piece.

I found another of these big boys on ebay a while ago and thought gee, that would be neat to be buried in, (thinking way ahead here), I mean coffins costing what they do and all, and what more fitting actually for a vintage color TV collector to be buried with and in an honest to goodness real theme cabinet. :) Plus these sets are usually used as landfill anyhow right!? Anyhow it was way too far. Nobody bought it as far as I know and the seller took it to the dump, cataracts and all. Shame. :(

Rob,

If you could find one with the CRT at one end, and if it had a separate safety glass, it would make a neat viewing window so people could see your face! :rolleyes:
