I looked at craigs list last night and there is one
out there. It looks way
too sleek and futuristic though. ;-) I'll keep watching.
I think I know the kind you are looking for (twice as wide as the
tube, left and right "wing speakers", cloth grille, decorative wood
features, sometimes with a radio or turntable inside, too), but I
haven't seen one of those at the curb in Columbus in many years -
people dumped those for black plastic WalMart specials a while back.
It would certainly be an interesting thing to showcase retro games on,
especially the Atari 2600, but they do have a large footprint.
I kinda wish I'd picked up a 19" B&W when those were $10 at the Thrift
Stores - I have plenty of pre-color gaming machines that would be
perfect on the crispness of a maskless B&W tube.
