Hallicrafters 505 Soon to hit the Bench

From the darkest corner of the garage, I braved the spider webs and dug out this Hallicrafters that has been awaiting restoration far too long. It appears that there has been no under-chassis repair at all. Look at all those ugly paper caps!



Cabinet had been stripped for refinishing and all knobs and push-buttons were found in a plastic bag. Speaker is missing. HV cover is missing. I have already re-populated the empty tube sockets.



The biggest problem (so far) is the missing rubber boot that holds the CRT and safety glass... anybody making reproductions or have a spare?

Wish me luck, its going to the bench soon,
jr
