Swoop! Got a 19" roundie Kaye-Halbert on CL in West LA today!

I happened upon an ad for "old TV made in Culver City, CA", and it took a picosecond for me to realize it's a Kaye-Halbert Windsor with the 19AP4 round metal tube...Original owner/sitting on original carpeting in original house... A couple of miles from the Kaye-Halbert factory! Very unusual to see an (at the time) cheap out-of-date 19" metal tube on those sets, since they were quite expensive, and most were fitted with a 20CP4 rectangular glass tube. This is the first 19" roundie KH set I've found, and I have 18 or so Kaye-Halberts. VERY PLEASED to have found this one, although it has this awful white antiqued finish on it. The awful finish was done when it was new, and the TV was evidently ordered from the factory unfinished.

With my left wrist in a cast & brace, I hauled the set out of the house, and got it safely into the truck... It's now squirreled away safely down in Los Angeles, as I couldn't bring it home due to threatening weather in the open truck.

What a great Christmas surprise!

Charles
