Anybody want to buy a piece of history?
So I woke up this morning and thought I'd start going through the stuff around the house that we might need to get rid of when we move. The first thing on the list? The 1955 Zenith Flash-Matic TV. This TV's pretty crazy. It was the first television with a wireless remote control, and cost about $15 when it first came out. Ours was found under a blanket in a crazy old cat lady's garage; it's never been used and still has the original remote control, batteries and display tags. It's also in fantastic condition and has only ever been used to set decorative things on.
I was going to put it on KSL, but I realized I would have no idea how to do that. This thing is a piece of history, and is museum quality. I don't know what to price it. I've sent an e-mail to Zenith asking about it, but I haven't heard back.
If you have deep pockets, internet, and want to own a piece of TV history, let me know.
