I have been bundled!
#1

I had gotten a call about an odd, Halicrafters (SP?) Television a few weeks ago and today I finally got around to looking at it. It is a ten inch table model with early push-button tuning. Along with this TV set, I ended up getting a Zenith console radion tossed in with the deal. It is also a bit unusual. For one thing, it is a prewar console with a slide-rule dial, a first for me with Zenith. It also has a back that contains the antenna and when you pull that, you are looking at a small, six tube, transformerless chassis. If I recall, transformerless console radios aren't that common in the prewar years. Well, the guy wanted to sell both for one price and I loaded them up. The Zenith is complete except the tuning ring and band select knob and the cabinet is solid. It's just an unusual design that unfortunately included a crumbling asbestos pad under the chassis! Yech!!! That has been carefully removed and disposed of. I'll see if I can pull a model number off the tag.

   

   

No matter where you go, there you are.
