The owner have me it, actually there was 2, one was in bad shape but has a good tube and the other was mint but necked, it came together great. I watched it for years with no real problem then sold it. So this color set is kinda neat to me cause I admired Hoffman's history, I actually got to meet the 58s owner and learned how they ended up in South Dakota! Next week I'm giving a 67 packard bell a new home so I guess my hoffman will have a California brother so to speak. Thank you both for the info btw
If you watched the earlier "All in the Family" episodes, they had a 23" B/W console, early 60's model Hoffman. It was just a prop. IIRC, an empty cabinet.
They never showed the front. As a complete set, it was a great set.
