Nice finds. Every serious TV collection has to have at least one of the 7" pushbutton Hallicrafters. Raymond Loewy did a nice job giving the sets a clean post-war modern look. The re-badged Delco and Airline models are all the more unique. The only problem with these sets, if you want a working one, is the flyback issue where the screen goes dark after 20 or so minutes. Removal of the HV container top and the temporary installation of a small computer fan completely solved the problem with my 505.
