Post those 1950s color roundies

My 1956 (1955 model year) Hoffman Colorcaster:





This was a gift from my Grandpa Burkhardt, the grumpiest old kraut to ever walk the face of the planet. He's a pain in the ass, but we love him and keep him around anyway

I saw the set on eBay, and unbeknownst to me, he tracked down the seller and offered to buy the set before the auction ended. I then paid to have it shipped from the SF Bay area back to Michigan. I then sold the set to another local collector to go on an ill-fated adventure with a CT-100. I sold the CT-100 to a fellow in Pennsylvania, made a tidy profit on that deal, and ultimately ended up buying this set back. I'll be six feet under when this Hoffman goes on the market again.

21AXP22 is good, the strongest I've ever actually seen, and the chassis is recapped. It's now passing good clean video, just have to track down some arcing HV cage.
