Special DuMont 109 maybe available?

[toober]

A friend has a line on a very nice looking DuMont 109 television in Boston, probably available for the taking.

But do not plug this into the wall - it is a weird DC variant. Apparently North Boston still had a bit of the old DC network in the 1950s, just as New York City still had DC in the 1990s. I have no idea how the power supply is different - probably a vibrator.

Anyway, if there is any interest, I can bother my friend a bit more.
