Thats neat looking.

And completely totally off topic, I know the folks who own Charles DuMont's old Trumpey yacht. I've been onboard the thing. Its pretty neat. He has an old magazine onboard showing the yacht with its original TV mast. First yacht to have onboard television from what I'm told.

why do they always power it up just to show that it lights? Its a great way to destroy the transformer if a filter cap shorts.

There really needs to be a PSA for ebay folks regarding the treatment of old radios and TVs, so that they aren't trashed before the buyer gets them


--not that people would read it.
