Kaye Halbert - what would you do ?

Interesting looking breakage pattern on the screen.... Makes it look like the coating was a cellophane and not powder.....

I have not heard of this brand, But many others here know much more than I do, Someone will have a nice history on it....

I guess that chassis was used as is on several different size models....

Boring or not, I think it is worth storing until you come across a tube, you never know...

Kaye-Halbert was located in Los Angeles (you can read Culver City on the label) and I think their distribution was not widespread. I have never seen one here in Washington state.

I have seen "necked" aluminized CRTs exhibit the same patterns, I think that the aluminum can peel off in strips, creating a jagged pattern rather than the nice circular area of missing phosphor usually seen on non-aluminized tubes after they have been necked.

Uncommon set in this neck of the woods. Doesn't do much for me but if you've got the room? The pencil box cover is going to be very hard to find, I would think.
