I'm pretty sure nobody nearly 65 years ago ever imagined these rather slapdash, crude, feeble things would be coveted, prized possessions someday...Lots of people thought "Tell-A-Vision' was a passing fad then. And Hallicrafters really had more than they could say grace over, trying to meet demand for their radios...Altho they tried harder than most independents did to make TV a go...And they had a wealth of engineering background to draw upon, as well. And who could possibly have forseen in '46 that the mighty US consumer electronics industry had about 20, 25 years left to live, courtesy of a shattered, defeated nation, and an unremarkable invention made of sand & a couple wires ?
