Sylvania Halo-light saved
Went to a local estate... (By local, I mean two blocks away!) and found this old Halo-light in the basement marked $100. On the first day, I figured that if anybody wanted it for $100, they are better than I.
In the last few hours of the last day, it was still there at 1/2 off, so I went for it. I really don't need/want the set, (I already have a blonde halo-light, and I usually don't go for sets with doors) but I didn't like the idea of it hitting the dumpster, or being gutted for the attractive cabinet. Since it was pretty much a goner anyways, I fired it up in my garage. It came on for a few seconds and blew a LV rectifier (5U4). I pulled one from my tube box and tried again. This time it came one with a raster. After a few adjustments and letting it run for a while, it was making a pretty good picture. Also found out it has UHF! The problem is, I don't really want/need this set! My basement is full! What to do?  Here are a few pictures.    It got a scratch on the way up the stairs

Good save Carmine ! I'd try to "big-deal" you out of it in a heartbeat, but gettin' it to Tennessee from Dee-troyt in anything approaching intact would be a miracle...
