Quote:
DuMont actually did try to show how impractical a large color wheel set would be by bringing a Royal Sovereign with a real working 6 ft wheel [!!!] into a courtroom where hearings on the competing color TV systems were being held. When DuMont's turn came, the switch was thrown to start the FIVE HORSEPOWER wheel motor and the main breakers blew plunging the courtroom into total darkness. The judge stormed out accusing DuMont of trying to discredit CBS with this outrage. I wonder what ever happened to that set and the wheel? I'd love to find it in a warehouse somewhere and bring it all back to life. Cliff

If I had the 30" DuMont, I'd pay the utilities for it!

Holy S....!
That 30" wheel is freaking enourmous, and just plain comical.

Those Hudsons were nice cars. I've seen two in person one I'm sure was a Hornet. It was parked at a restraunt and I got a good look at it, that one looked like brand new.
I got to sit in the other one, but I can't for the life of me remember if that one was a Hornet or a different model. Ever refer to yours as the Green Hornet?
