Interesting Hoffman
Never heard of Scan-O-Ramic before, too expensive but unusual:

That's a very early Hoffman. I've seen a TV-only version, which had a 721-TS RCA chassis. Looks nice, and MUST be saved... Very rare. I grew up collecting TVs in the Hoffman capital of the world (Los Angeles), and only ever have seen 2 of the pre-1949 models. I've even had a Hoffman prototype 19" CBS-tubed color set, which I got from a Hoffman retiree.
Regarding the price, though; I think this year's crop of pot up there in NorCal is extra-potent  Charles

It fascinates me how the warranty "fine print" terms are just about the same as with modern equipment. All the same language about altered serial numbers and other details.
I live close to this set, but my budget does not go anywhere near its asking price.
