It just amazes me that something like this can still be found, or that it could even happen. That is 75 years of non-activity. It has to be two,three, or more generations of people, family or not, all saying "I will not do anything with that" or even "I will not look in that storage area in back/upstairs" or whatever.
I could understand it if this was 1980, like when I worked in a surplus store in downtown Chicago that had four GE 15-inch color monitors from 1954, three of them still unopened in their wooden crates. But, the world has changed a lot in 35 years. Or, I thought it did.
Congratulations for that nice find. (And, please see if they have the TV chassis from another TRK-120 sitting there, too. I need one!)
