Best place to search for old wood console TV's ?
Hello all, brand new to the form.
I have kind of recently decided that I would really like to get a old console type color TV as I have a really good spot for it in my house for one and think it would be really cool (I like anything old and pretty much am capable of and have the tools to fix just about anything) Having said that though I don’t know much about old TV’s so forgive me if I don’t use all the correct words for this but… What I’m looking for is something along the line of the old wood console TV’s that are typically longer then they are tall and have a solid base and not one with legs. I guess this might typically make it a stereo model but I’m thinking that isn’t a rule It would be really really great if it was a TV/HiFi combo but if it’s just a stereo TV or at least looks like that type that’s fine. Basically I'm looking at it as much as a piece of furniture and conversation piece then an actually TV that I would expect to be used for its viewing quality. Although I intend to get it working as best as I can, (I'm not gonna make a fish bowl out of it) I have looked on E-bay and the for sale page on this site but there is nothing there that really seems to be what I’m talking about at the moment. What I was wondering is if someone could give me some other leads as to where I might find what I’m looking for. I know about Craig’s list but unless I missed something I don’t see how I can search it much. Anyway if someone could post some links for me to other places or give me some other ideas besides the obvious ones like my local paper, that would be great. Also I was wondering if someone could educate me a bit on the term roundie? What I meant is yeah I gather that this means is round but I see that often use to describe consoles like the one I’m talking about too so what can that mean in relation to that, in relation to helping search? Did most larger consoles start out as roundies and at a point change to something else? Are roundies in a large console typically of poorer performance Kinda more stuff like that. Also one other thing is if someone could recommend maybe what might be the best brand to look for, from what I’ve read on this board so far it seems like Zenith is a really big name and I’m sure there are a lot of other good ones too but are there any that I should defiantly stay away from, maybe for reasons like it just impossible to get parts for it or it was just absolute junk even when it was new? Anyway thanks for any help. |
