Jamie,
Lots of nice old TV's sets down your way, get ya self one.
It's really great fun watching old movies on vintage TV sets.
I see nice sets down there and their always the models I'm looking for! I've been after a Plymouth for years and their always down that way.

An Astor Plymouth has just been listed on Gumtree.
And guess where it is...... South Australia.

Looks to be in nice condition.

Hello pitchers,
Yes someone just sent me a email telling me it's on gumtree.
When they do come up it's always Perth or Tassie.
Shipping is the killer. I've bought TV's interstate before though.
All the best pete

Nice looking TV's

I have not seen many of these listed for sale before.

A lot of sellers seem to overprice them though.

They are nice yes, Lots in Victoria.
Shipping from Victoria is not too bad it can be 180 ,200.
Shipping from Tassie or Perth is lot lot more.
And it's a gamble because the CRT might be stuffed. Push through CRT tubes are hard to get. Standard CRT tubes I have a few spares and can be mixed and matched.
But a push through CRT I have nothing in my stash that will fit or look right.
