I just noticed this thread, and I am going to gently nudge it back off subject for a moment, then I will shut up and let you guys carry on about Philco TV sets.

It's bad enough that Victorian and Edwardian homes are being lost to an uncaring bunch of sheeple so they can build more cheap McMansions that will do well to last 30 years...but I've noticed a trend lately to destroy Mid Century Modern (and just plain Mid Century) homes recently for the same reasons. Tear down a home with character...build another lookalike McMansion. Icon_thumbdown

OK, this concludes my diversion from the topic at hand. Carry on...
