Here is yet another article on vintage TV collecting from VIDEO Magazine
March, 1985. Scanned as best I can without breaking the binding. Danny is mentioned here as well. UCLA did and still has a collection of vintage TV's apart from Ed Reitan's collection. Both Ed & I had sets there for a while. The collection was not on public display. I did have the pleasure of joining my good friend Ed Reitan and Danny Gustafson for dinner some years ago when Danny visited Los Angeles. Sadly, both have passed. What a wonderful evening of TV talk that was.

I wonder what happened to the big RCA set mentioned in the corner article about Danny.

What model would that be, and does anyone have pictures of it?

The set pictured w/Danny is a 1939 RCA Victor TRK-12. Danny's collection was auctioned off and /or sold. Not sure where each item went. I'm sure someone on the forum may have some of this info. I do recall receiving a one sheet flyer
of the main receivers to be disposed of from Danny's collection. I can't locate this flyer. Att. is a photo of an RCA TRK-12. They all looked alike.

That was the article I had mentioned from Video magazine! I had ripped out just the article and didn't know exactly what year in the '80's it was from. Thanks for scanning for everyone to see. I remember back then that there's was often articles on vintage TV's or radios, so I would always thumb through all the all new electronic magazines!
I also want to say the articles and pics are great! The mirror-in-the-lid GE is a particular rare and classy art-deco piece.
