Default Re: Who is buying vintage TVs?

Quote:
The last vintage telly I bought via eBay was a Perdio Portarama, Which was £25 inc p&p (£8 was what the set sold for!) and that was back in 2016
I also got a Perdio Portarama on ebay for not much more, apart from being a bit grubby it is in excellent condition, even down to the front pushbuttons and aerial. The only missing items are the power leads.

The last set I got was a rough TV24, I was amazed that I got it for only £8 plus £20 in petrol to fetch it!

There have been some bargains in recent months, but as always, the other end of the country
I did manage to get a huge Grundig 5077 radio for £2.20 back in November, so there is still the odd gem to be had.

I do have enough projects to last me many years though, so not too worried!
I expect prices will fall again, just like they have with the Dansette prices.
