I lived on Woodcrest, five houses off the corner across the street by the old
Beacon school playground.....
I sure had a lot of fun getting those TV's......
One year, as a tean ager, I rescued a 1949 10" combination Admiral tv in the driving rain. Boss picked it up with me. We had it playing the next day. It played well, with the exception that he had to jury rig a resistor on filament of hv rectifier to get the arcing to stop, and, show a beautiful picture. It had all the literature. Yet, I didn't like the sound on phonograph, and, couldn't get it up the stairs of my second story ghetto apartment, so, I threw it out..
