Thanks. That's just one rack of the accumulation, there are plenty more TVs in the basement and in two rented 11 by 28 foot storage garages. Most of them are parts sets, or sets that still need work. Once finished, they usually go bye-bye.

The Sony 8-301 sets come up fairly often on eBay, probably 20 or so a year. The other Japanese brands of approximately the same age (tube or solid state) are hardly ever seen on eBay. I think I saw only 3 of the Channel Master 6565's over the last couple of years.

Most of those small sets I have came from antique radio meets around the Midwest over the last 25 years, or off Craigslist in the past 5 years or so. A lot of people know I collect them, so I get a lot of referrals from other collectors when they come across them.
