Saved from the trash.
#1

I was on my way to work this afternoon when I saw this sitting by the curb along with trash bags for trash pick up tomorrow:
   
   

It's a postwar Zenith, radio/phono console. Mostly complete except for one button that changes from radio to phono. I saw this sitting there and turned around since the owners of the house were out doing cleaning around the yard and garage. Asked them about it and thay said I could have it if I wanted it. It's definitely a bit rough, but I couldn't let it go for trash. Now if this had been a garage sale, I would have just let it be. This has 'Model 9H881' stamped on the chassis.

No matter where you go, there you are.
