Sets that you feel sorry for.....

Okay, admit it, everyone does this

Went to an estate sale, hoping to score a Halolight that was pictured in the listing. Since the listings were 2 weeks old and everything was now 75% off, it seems that I missed out. But in a dark corner of the basement sitting on the floor, was this set.

I would have left it at the original $25, but now reduced to $6.25, I figured, what the heck, it'll only get tossed out, and it either probably works as it is, or close to it. It's a KCS171E chassis, making this set a 1969. Picture tube is a 20SP4.

Haven't powered it up yet, it really needs a good bath and some tube testing first. There's also a big honkin .22 uF @ 600V ceramic cap that is going buh-bye before it gets plugged in.
