What did that Hallicrafters end up selling for, if you don't mind my asking? I saw more bids on that set than any other one there.

I also scored this RCA 730TV2 for $20. This picture is after some time scrubbing the crud off the finish. Picture tube has a bad short and there was a big mousey nest under the chassis, but everything else appears to be intact. Definitely gonna restore this one

You have a knack for finding sets with mouse nests in them. Consider yourself lucky though, I read a story here about someone who got a set with a live wasp nest in it, and didn't find out until he was driving home with it.

That particular unit seems pretty advanced for its age, having FM.
