I adjusted the height of the hospital bed to match the lift gate, and rolled off the stereo, pushed a button and lowered it to the ground.
The TV is being ripped out and replaced with a modern flat screen behind the 1963 bezel. It will sit in my 1961 themed room playing old commercials and shindig episodes.
All of the factory stickers and the factory warranty card is still with it.
Same with the other one on the trailer.

My parents had a TV/Stereo that looked exactly like that. I remember that the sound “failed” on Super Bowl Sunday (1969 I think) and my Dad frantically called every TV repair place he could find. Finally one guy agreed to come out - the guy looked at the unit for about a minute, flipped the internal/external rocker switch back to internal - sound came back on - he charged my Dad the full weekend service call rate.
My other memory of that set was watching Apollo 11 and the moon landing in all its fuzzy black and white glory.
