Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Non-Petro Discussions Non-petro Discussion and Showcase NON-PETRO BOTM: APRIL 2013!

Thanks!

My non petro buy:

Shes old and shes rough...but a very cool early store dispaly:

Picked this up today.

This was given to me, yesterday, by my good friend Dorthy of Dots Farm Junk in Sprague Wa. 99032. I'm going to check into getting the wood fixed and possibly restore it or if it is not fixable, it is very good for parts.
It is a 1941 Zenith 7S528 and all of the knobs still turn and move the dials, the different bands switch by the knob still and the plastic is all in pretty good shape. I did not try to plug it in because the plug is frayed at the end and I also found out the rubber casing around all the wires on the inside tends to crack and fall away if the wires are moved around. I really dig it and hope I can restore it and use it in the shoppe.





My friend Dorthy and I are partners in these Theater seats, and a couple of other items in my Shoppe, that I brought the rest home yesterday and put them in my empty rental in line to be cleaned and repaired if nessasary. We have 8 sets of three seats each available and one set of 2 that could be by them selves of be attached to a set of 3. I'm keeping the set in front with all the bird poo on them. They all will be gorgess after cleaning like the set pictured after.

Dave, tell Dorothy hi from Steve Z (Kennewick), I don't see her anymore since she moved from Benton City, we battled more than once at auctions around here & I sure miss that ! Been to her store in Sprague a few times and ran into her last year in Spokane.....she's a gem in my book !

Thanks, Z

I sure will Steve and I totally agree with you there! She is a blast and I am soo happy that her husband is doing better lately. They have been though a hell of a couple of months.
She and I bid against each other at a auction once and we did'nt even know it until later and we just laughed. I always enjoy going places with her. I just talked to her and she says Hi back and to call her if you get the chance. She says you would like the toy truck she just got and that she misses seeing your big green Hummer, ha ha.
