A Sylvania Halolight Followed Me Home

[hi_volt]

I was minding my own business when I stumbled across a Sylvania halolight set this afternoon. It's a small console with a 17" screen, and is a model 73M-6 "Colonial". The guy I bought it from told me it has been sitting in storage since 1982, which is when the original owner passed away, and wasn't brought out of storage until last week. By looking at the inside and outside, it was obviously stored in a temperature controlled environment, because the chassis is dusty but otherwise almost immaculate. It will clean up and actually shine. The CRT is an RCA Silverama replacement 17BP4D with a date code of 6513. Emissions are reading in the "?" area right now, but I've got it "waking up" in the shop. Original finish, original grille cloth, all knobs present. I have the back for it, but it isn't shown in the pictures. Should be a easy restoration (when I finally have the time after I retire in a couple of years).
