I did not mean anything bad. Its good to save any old electronics. Pull it out and take some pictures of it maybe someone on here might want it or need the parts. Just don't let them make a stinking fish tank or book case out of it.

I do know what you mean. There is way too much over-priced common 40s-50s TV and radio posted on Philly (much more than other local) craigslist. They act like you're trying to steal it from them when you offer a reasonable price.

I knew Hallicrafters made amateur communications gear (I had a Hallicrafters SX101A receiver in my first amateur radio station), as well as small table radios, but this is the first Hallicrafters color TV I've seen. Hallicrafters also made a 7" b&w TV with push-button tuning (it may have had channel 1) in the late '40s. It was housed in the same style cabinet as their amateur radio gear.

Hallicrafters produced TV receivers well into the '50's. Here is their 1951 line up.

Ouch! Bad memories. When I was about 12, our next door neighbor, a widower living alone, passed away. Several months later, an estate sale was held. One of the items for sale was a 1951 Hallicrafters TV (it looked like the upright without doors in your brochure), and priced at $10.
My mother flat out refused to let me buy the set, even though I really, really wanted it.
Perhaps why, once out of the parents' house, I started accumulating sets, LOL
