1950s working Halolight - value?
 

Greetings!

I recently posted an online ad for an old television; a Sylvania Halolight. It is in working order: halolight, tube and speakers. It is a table top model (no console) with a blonde finish. I find it quite attractive, though I have no need for it.

I posted it for $50, and had someone nearly knock down my door for it, and then promised $75 if I took the ad down.

Do I have something special, or am I just dealing with an avid collector? I can post photos, if it is desired.

thanks for your help!

As with anything else, it all depends on the model, condition, location, etc. Some Halolights have been reposted on Craigslist locally for under $50 here for over a year with no takers, while other models are certainly worth more.

Some sets like that bring a high price if it tickles some kitsch decorator's fancy, working or not.

I paid $40 for a restorable 1959 21"Halolight set with integral metal stand, complete but it needs a full restore.

Thanks guys, I figured that was the case. Nice to know there is a community out there interested in seeing these things working again!

Where are you located ? post photos please
