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.

IF can wire size and Rubber mounts?
Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
