13 channel Hallicrafters T-506 WITHOUT the familiar rectangular bezel ?
I have a 13 channel Hallicrafters T-506 WITHOUT the familiar rectangular bezel common on the 12 channel units.
Does anyone know if they actually built the 13 channel Hallicrafters T-506 (or early T-54's) WITHOUT the familiar rectangular bezel? Murray |

Hi Murray,
What does it have if not the rectangular bezel? Is it round? I've seen some with a porthole looking bezel but I just thought they had been modified. |

Yes, it's a round brown/black plastic bezel. Steve Kissinger just finished restoring it and it produces a great image that does not fill the entire round CRT. Either it was serviced and the rectangular bezel was removed/lost/parted out, or, they built some early sets in a straight porthole design. I wonder which it true? Murray |

Note "as found" picture. That looks original to me.

I'm pretty sure my Hallicrafters originally had the mask.
