Thats something ill never be able to do. Someday I hope to learn at least Spanish seeing as its probably the second most common language in my part of the country, but yes...very much respect to anyone on the forum from a country where english isnt the native language. Ive never had any problem reading any english posts here by any of our many members from outside the US.

Please to meet you, mister Keefla and best whishes for your Spanish!

I have 2 Halolights-they are both pretty boring sets! The first I found last year in the attic of a TV shop. It's one of the late fifties sets but in a very conservative cabinet. Then I got a call this winter from a friend who said he found a really cool Halolight for me and again I pictured one of those wild late fifties models, but it turned out to be a '53 that is similiar to the one in the ad Gianni posted. So far all I have done is confirmed that the lights worked...the chassis work will come much later.

Of course. But look at it from our point of view. There's just no obvious choice of language to learn. Lets see, German, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, Korean, French, Polish, Russian, etc. You can't learn them all. Everyone else in the world seems to pick English. That's a null choice for us.... :-)
