[NJARC] David sarnoff office suite fire sale

[John Tyminski]

Ray rite now I'm giving club members first grabs. I'm in contact with
2 dealers I know what the stuff is worth I spent 2 years working
weekends and summers in a high end furniture shop nothing under $1200.
The stuff hear is some what worn and would not be in the shop I worked
in. However I could not think of a better place to sell it than to the
antique radio community. What could be better then having a RCA radio
on a end table from Sarnoff's office well you sit in a chair from
Sarnoff office. What dose not sell at the end of the month will be
left for Sarnoff to deal with and the few high end Items will be
auctioned. The antique radio comunity is the only place to sell this
stuff!
