I ventured back to the 60's today, spent $60, and totally scored!!

This is the result of the estate sale that I eluded to on BeachKid's thread about not being able to sleep before going to one that you know is going to be big. Well, in lieu of describing everything, I wll just post pics and you're welcom to ask about anything. I feel I did quite well for only spending $60!

I'm not a 'tube amp' guy but if you can send a picture of those Zenith tubes to a local guitar amp repair shop, then another and another, some of those might be worth the effort. Like I said though, they might not be the right kind (usually I see different brands mentioned in ads) so until somebody can help more I'd just like to say neat finds and have fun!

I was looking at the tubes and hoping to see some 12AX7. Those the amp guys want and NOS even better.

Love the zenith box and the atomic clock! Won't be long until somebody says something about shooting your eye out. Good stuff and much better than the trash I bought today.

Those tubes can bring you big$$$ to the right person,it looks like you could have a $1000-$5000 to the right person.

I've been searching for an old coleman cooler like that one, I have a slightly newer model that is tan but I love the classic old green ones the best! Nice picking!

That clock is killer. I have been looking for one like that for a LONG time and never found one. If it works, I bet you can get at least $200 for it and maybe a LOT more. I would have spent $60 on the clock alone.

The Zenith tubes are cool but I would not be surprised is the case itself is worth a good amount, too. It looks like it is in near perfect condition. I bet there are a couple of Zenith collectors out there who would dearly love to have that case.

Welll played, sir!
