Looks like a RCA(made) CRT in that Zenith

Yeah that is what I'm guessing. I'm dreading the cateracting procedure that will come after I get the electronics fixed. Last RCA type tube I decated was my first decat procedure and did not end well...Even if I hadn't made the mistake of putting the hot tube in cold water which cracked the face(killing the tube), the mistakes I made that came before that left me with the unpleasant prospect of chipping off the lense.

Once I get around to the decat I hope all the mistakes I made before will prevent me from having any this time around.

I did not go to the Convention but I watched the auction video.
That was indeed an unusual cabinet. There is also a photo of the
purchaser loading it in his car. Can you tell us about it?

It was in a MAG called AMERICAN HOME. This was a special not monthy issue.
It was 200 American Home Interiors but has no index, no copyrite, no year listed anywhere. I have two of them.
Front cover has a large 9" x 7" picture of it and inside on pages 80 and 81 is a article on the interior not the TV but one picture shows the TV working.
This brings up was it real or was the photo touched up?
I made it from a wood tube, can be bought in many sizes, and a congo or bongo drum for the top and a wood bowl in the middle. All my TV and wood working came to a end when my son moved back for one year and I never started back up when he left. Condo only 800 sq ft.

I watched the auction video also and saw some of my old stuff being sold like the RCA 621s. One was real one was a hand made copy that was close but not real. I have also included wood parts for a 3rd which I did not see. A local shop had a large wood table with the correct wood used in the TVs so the parts were cut from that with the wood grain correct direction on one but not both.

Next year I am bringing a 100 foot Cat 5e cable, I am sick of having WiFi connection issues. I was fighting to get the connection to work for the start of the auction, and the connection dropped for several min at the McKoy center during the presentations.

Hey thanks for putting in the effort to video the event.
Be interesting if you could find a "personality" that you could tape
who makes commentary on the items before the auction begins.

I picked up a vintage antenna made for UHF at the flea market that was set up outside the building which looks like about the size of an LP record with a big hole in the center. I hooked it up to my HDTV 50" panasonic, and it is the best indoor antenna I have ever had on the set for off the air digital. The picture doesn't anymore break up and pixilate, and I actually get 3 more channels than my old rabbit ears.

I also got a stromberg carlson roundie B&W, and a B&W 21 inch Philco, off the flea market thing. I just have to find more time to get into them and get them working again. Thanks to whom ever had those sets, and the UHF antique antenna.

You're welcome. (You got the UHF antenna from me.)

I believe the Philco you got was from young Tom Carlson (Electronic Memory) if it was the set next to the semi-trailer outside. Tom & I are both from Wisconsin, he came down with his father, Jerry.

The Stromberg Carlson may have been from Don Patterson of Georgia, if you got it from the same group of white plastic tables where you bought the antenna from me.

Wow, I see you drove further than I did!

I believe one of the younger guys who helps Dave Sisca with the video production bought the Custom made TV Cabinet. He wasn't wearing a badge in the auction pictures so I didn't get his name. Dave would probably have his name.

John Tyminski bought it, and it's sitting in my garage. He's supposed to pick it up next weekend.
