Man, does that bring back memories! We had several Hallis when I was a kid...my uncle put himself through college repairing TVs in Gram & Gramps basement. Being a ham operator as well, he had an affinity for Hallicrafters sets...well-built & easy to work on. He'd get a dead set, fix it, and we'd have a new TV!! We had several 21" table models that my Mom referred to as "beer joint TVs" since they looked a lot like sets you'd see mounted up in a corner behind the bar.
