Need Advice Again: Philco 38-7 Console
#10

Yep, just go by there in a couple of weeks, and have another quick look at it. Leave your name and number. Then don't worry about it anymore.

When he sees that it is not going to sell and he needs the space, he may call you. Unless he's the kind that would trash a set, rather than to give you a good deal on it to save the set.

There's one little thrift shop here that has had a Zenith tabletop wood set (complete with asbestos sheet) and they have a $75 tag on it, It's a $10 set, pushbuttons, and maybe an eye tube. But it's been there for over 2 1/2 years now and last time I asked they did not want to make a deal on it.

Went there the other day, it's still there in one of the back rooms. One knob now missing.
What's up with these people? They have rent to pay store overhead etc. I know they are there to make oney, but they probably sidn't pay more than a few dolars for it. OR maybe they did pay a lot, thinking it was worth more.

Good luck,
Gary.
