Some unnamed person made me buy this today...

[Unimatic1140]

at an estate sale, 1956 or 1957 and has the Space Command remote attached!

hmmmph...

 

[nmassman44]

And it looked like they twisted your arm to buy it too!

 

[crevicetool]

Those unnamed people really, really upset me. They've made me buy stuff too.

aarrrrgggg!

 

[scott55405]

That's fantastic!

 

[polkanut]

I'm glad your estate sale adventure turned out better than mine. All I found was an unopened 28oz. box of BIZ with phosphates. Originally priced at $.89, bought it for $.50.

 

[foraloysius]

Nice catch!

BTW, www.televisionworld.com is still unused...

 

[danemodsandy]

A Likely Story!

Robert:

We've seen your arms, and anyone capable of twisting those is someone I do not want to mess with!

;-)

 

[jeffg]

Robert, nice catch.

Honest to god, at first glance I thought your happy look had something to do with the SOLD sign behind you.

 

[norgeway]

yeah ...right

I bet that certain someone's name begins with Fr and ends with ed ....dont feel bad, I have a Sylvania Halo Light that is being fixed right now....Its nice to know 50/s stuff is still apreciated, ENJOY..they sure dont make this stuff anymore, it is up to us to preserve it.

 

[bugsyjones]

PERFECT TV!

I want it now.

Wow

We had the Exact Same Model when I was oh, about 8 or 9 years old. Great Find. Eddie

 

[hooverwheelaway]

Uh huh...

The look on his face, along with the clutched hands CLEARLY shows how upset he is that Gary and I talked him into going back for it...

I think it's fabulous. And kudos to Gary for finding the remote!

[ronhic]

Somehow Robert, I think you have rubber arms.....

....thankfully.

 

[bendix5]

this is a wonderful find. It seems to be in nice condition. My aunt and uncle had one of these. Isn't the remote mechanical? If I remember it went clunk, clunk and you can see the dial turn. Enjoy Dano-Bendix 5

Ain't it sweet!

I used to cower and bring my treasures in under the veil of darkness, lest I get chewed out about spending money on things we don't need. "We already have a TV!!" Few things in life are sweeter than a loving partner and even better is one who thinks it makes perfect sense to drag home anything that makes you happy!

 

[sudsmaster]

What brand is it?

Zenith?

 

[drmitch]

Oh wow! Can we stay up tonight and watch bewitched? : )
Beautiful set and with the space command no less!

 

[jetcone]

I can't stand it when unnamed makes me

buy things like STICK BLENDERS or whatever!

Nice nab there , you can never go wrong with Space Command!
Did you know we saw the first remote ever in DC? It was for a Philco radio and we were all gobsmacked when we got to operate it!

 

[gansky1]

Here's the MD Radio & TV museum radio remote

Wireless even!

Great television guys - is the remote wireless?
