Al, do you still have the original first pics I sent you of that set when I was at the estate sale?

I ended up picking up the set in West Seneca NY. Estate sales around here usually have half price on Saturday, and the set was marked $50. It was cold as hell that day and it snowed the night before pretty good, so I think I was the only "fool" interested

I happened to see a cabinet in the photos for the sale that looked like it *might* be a television, and I had nothing going on, so figured what the heck. It had clothes piled all over it in the corner of a very large bedroom that was desperately in need of a paint job. I don't think that set had moved from that spot in my lifetime.

Texted Al with a pic, then a pic of the model number, the whole time not realizing that it was the EXACT set that Al had been looking for! Good thing I happened to bring my dolly.....$25 and 15 minutes later it was in my van.

Sometimes luck just hits you like that
