That's half of the fun of going to these estate sales! This one was a killer, one of those you hope for, wading through TONS of "old lady furniture" photos that leave you numb with the awareness of the conventionality of mass taste - but even if I would be home in LA and not in Hamburg right now, I probably would have missed it. I guess there's no chance that any TC member ended up with these items: A rattan TV set, PLUS a set of photos that show it in its proper environment! IF by any remote chance the lucky winner reads this, I would LOVE to borrow them for a Tiki exhibition I am working on - it would be so perfect to screen clips from Hawaiian Eye and Adventures in Paradise in. In lieu of the rattan cover, does anybody know of a vintage late 50s TV set available from which I can take out the tube and replace it with a modern monitor?
