Brigs back memories of my missionary days in Wien. Our group lived in a retreat house that has an updated mansion in the Grinzing district of the city. And, in the attic, what did one of my Austrian friends and I find? A set like this one! However, someone had performed an abortion on it and it was DOA when we found it. Sadly, it was mostly cold solder joints (remember soldering, kiddies?) that when touched-up, and tweaked, a bit worked like a champ. It was interesting in that an outboard UHF converter had been attached. Recepion was no problem... one of my bedroom windows had a nice view of the ORF stick at Khalenberg...!

P.S. What happened to the set? It ended-up in the bedroom of the young ladies who spent the summer working in the retreat house...
