Well, I am off in the morning to pick it up. I live within 20 miles and had contacted the guy as soon as it showed up on CL in my area. I will post pictures when I get it and report on condition. ( I will start a new thread when I do so as to not hijack this one) Hope you guys are not too upset that I got it if someone had their sights on it.
At least you will know I will plan on restoring it and it won't end up a fish tank or worse.
By the way I am new to VK and have only posted a few times so thought I would say hello. My name is Tom and I have been only restoring radios the past year and I am just getting started with TV's. Having lots of fun so far and glad I found this forum thanks to Bob "bandersentv" mentioning it on his YouTube channel. I also have to give Bob the credit for getting me interested in TV's in the first place through his YouTube channel. I never even thought about restoring TV's and then after seeing Bob's restorations of them got hooked rather quickly.
This Halo will be only my third set that includes a little GE 1956 portable and an Admiral 24a12 that also showed up on CL in my area, I had to pay for the Admiral, but am glad I did!
So far I have only checked the CRT's with my B&K and done a light cleaning of the sets, and started taking the G.E. appart to recap it. I'm married and have kids at home so have to squeeze in time for the hobby when I can, which is not much. I hope to do more over the winter on these.
