Hi, I'm new, so please forgive me if I violate any local rules of (I want to use the word that sounds like ate-a-cat, but that's so far away from my attention these days that I can't even figure out how to spell it with the help of a dictionary) politeness. In other words, if I'm gauche.

I, too, am interested in how much these things might be worth, and how to go about selling it. I notice that nobody has given any estimates. I know the only people who would be interested are collectors, and therefore unpredictable to put it kindly, but no one has any idea? Should I just give it away or take it to the dump? There's a neighbor who'se interested.

I inherited one of these from my father. He kept it well maintained. It still works quite well, with the somewhat soft focus image it always had, that looks a lot better than it really is. I grew up watching that TV.

I have the original owner's manual and a loose leaf service manual with a lot of updates. The grill cloth has been replaced, but it was done so long ago it probably looks period to anyone these days. I have two spare picture tubes with little or no use. A friend made them for dad when the tubes were no longer available, back in the 1970s I believe. The one in it now is one of the three that he made. Each one has a different color tone to it: neutral, slightly blue, and slightly yellow (borwn).

Going from memory, watching dad work on this, I believe the picture tubes are more like 3" diagonal or less; maybe about the same size as four postage stamps. That may be my memory exaggerating, though; last time I looked at one of the tubes was decades ago. But I certainly remember the imaging part was tiny although the tube was probably about a foot long. I know they were not available for quite a while back then, but maybe someone makes them now? That would be very surprising but could be true.

Cheers,
Bob
