TRUE! I remember all of us (collectors) lauging about Kent Warner buying Phil Barr's '38 Andrea kit 5" for $600. What kind of a nut would pay that kind of money for an old TV with no cabinet?
And it was restored & working. And I bought a CT-100 with a good tube (WORKING with a minor vertical problem) from Phil a few years after that for $450!!! The Andrea sale was circa 1980, and my CT-100 circa 1985. Ed Reitan (Colortel) helped me fix that CT-100 chassis in the mid 80s, and it is still working as far as I know (Gary Miller collection).
