"... get on your bad motor scooter and ride!"
Sammy with MontroseI met Bernard back in the pre-internet days, late 80’s, early 90’s, at collector shows. At the time, he just had a handful of slot cars. We visited his warehouse/home back then to see his then-current museum quality collection of televisions. He had warehouse shelving 10 or 12 feet tall, with hundreds of televisions, from experimental German televisions from the 30’s to all manner of furniture televisions from the 50’s and later, and lots of space-age televisions. There were more styles and types than I ever knew existed. He also had a couple of Messerschmidt micro cars. Soon after we visited, he sold all his televisions and began collecting slot cars, building the fabulous collection shown. He seemed to be a regular guy with a regular job, but was the most thorough collector I had come across.
