Hallicrafters Roundie
Hi,
I am new to Videokarma, There is no dollars and sense thread here to ask in... My aunt and uncle have a '57? Hallicrafters Black and white Roundie in their attic they may want to get rid of, is it worth anything? It hasn't been plugged in for 40-some years. I am familiar with tube tech, and I know all about bad caps and such. If there is interest, and I'm sure what they want to do with it. I will list it in the classifieds I didn't see that this was a "color TV" thread, Please move if needed. It's in Middletown NY 10940 |

You're sure it's B&W right?
A 1950's Color Hallicrafter would attract a lot of interest! |

I'll have to check, but I'm pretty sure it's B&W. I'll get more info next week.

You know we get a lot of new people. Who finds an old TV stuck somewhere the house, and wondering if it is worth a lot of money. You know they never have anymore info than this. Lol which I always beleave anything is worth what someone willing to pay.

Any 40's round tube set is worth saving if it's in decent condition, Hallicrafters is also more scarce than and RCA or Philco.
Not going to be worth tons of money but maybe $100 or possibly more depending on model and condition, large combo units usually less. I mentioned color because a Hallicrafters round tube color set is a rare animal indeed and would be worth a fairly large chunk of change. |

I did not mean anything bad. Its good to save any old electronics. Pull it out and take some pictures of it maybe someone on here might want it or need the parts. Just don't let them make a stinking fish tank or book case out of it.

We live in an age where a pic can be taken with almost any device.. Maybe you should take pics of it and post them so people don't have to play a guessing game...

I do know what you mean. There is way too much over-priced common 40s-50s TV and radio posted on Philly (much more than other local) craigslist. They act like you're trying to steal it from them when you offer a reasonable price.

I knew Hallicrafters made amateur communications gear (I had a Hallicrafters SX101A receiver in my first amateur radio station), as well as small table radios, but this is the first Hallicrafters color TV I've seen. Hallicrafters also made a 7" b&w TV with push-button tuning (it may have had channel 1) in the late '40s. It was housed in the same style cabinet as their amateur radio gear.

Hallicrafters produced TV receivers well into the '50's. Here is their 1951 line up.

Hallicrafters DID make a mere handful of color sets, but I don't know if they were 15" or 21s.. They threw in the towel on TVs sometime around 1955 or '56. Seems like I remember reading that they were all given/rented to their larger distributors, none offered to the general public.
