Aw, that's too bad.  My mid-'80s 520ES just died recently, lasted nearly 30 years...first CD player I ever bought.

Just came back from an old store some people were clearing out.
They gave me these vintage catalogs for free.
Love the 1969 Westinghouse catalog !  
 

 

[Accumulator]

Oh gee, I could spend a lot of time with those catalogs.


 


Heh heh, check out Theda Bara on the B&W TV ad!  Thought that'd help sell the set in '69 huh?

She died 14 years earlier in 1955.  LOL

1. Vintage unopened automotive cans - $4.00

3. Vintage Zrnith Space command remote - $5.00
 
 

 

[Accumulator]

Ah, love that Space Command!


 


Judging by its graphics (the Fox platform Mustang), that Rince Radiateur isn't as old as I would've somehow expected.


 


Free record huh?  That was nice of 'em.
