Designed to sit on a tabletop, it measures about 18 inches high, 16 inches wide, and 20 inches deep. It is also very heavy, thanks to its robust transformer power supply and dual chassis. I received this TV from my Grandfather a few years ago.  He had his own TV repair business in the late 1940's to the early 1960's and kept this classic TV set around to restore "some day", but he never quite got around to it.  Since I'm no electronics repair person and since this is such a rare and interesting set, I thought maybe someone else might enjoy owning it and restoring it!  When I received it, I immediately "shrink-wrapped" all the electronics in commercial plastic wrap.  This made it a little difficult to photograph the components, but i think you can see clearly enough what is there and what might be missing.  I will consider unwrapping the parts and taking additional photographs, only for those with a serious interest in purchasing this item!  It's very hard to put a price on this since it is fairly one of a kind, so I'm just going to put it out there with a Buy it Now and also accept offers, so the collectors and restorers can tell me what they think it's worth. Originally priced at $279.50 back in 1948, this TV cost $80 more than the inexpensive model 505. The wooden cabinet has a nice mahogany veneer. Lettered in gold script over the screen are the words Carnegie Hall Edition. Like the model 505, this set uses a row of pushbuttons for tuning. Unlike the early 505s and T-54s, however, it does not feature the obsolete channel 1. The rightmost "button" in the bottom row is a rotary fine tuning control. From left to right, the three large knobs above the tuning buttons control horizontal/vertical, power/contrast, and brightness/volume. It takes a little while to get used to a power knob that also controls contrast, rather than volume, which has become the modern standard. Information for Electronic Restoration This television has two chassis. The smaller rear chassis holds the power supplies and sweep circuitry and the larger front chassis holds the tuner and audio sections. Hallicrafters used this chassis in four different models from 1947-1949. The T-61 came in a black bakelite tabletop cabinet with the same profile as this T-67. Model T-64 came in a tabletop or console wooden cabinet and gave you a choice of 10-inch or 12-inch screen, while model T-69 offered a 15-inch screen in a console wooden cabinet. This set uses 23 tubes, including the picture tube: Tube Type Function V1 6AG5 RF amplifier V2 6AG5 Mixer V3 6C4 Oscillator V4 6AU6 1st video IF amp V5 6AU6 2nd video IF amp V6 6AU6 3rd video IF amp V7 6AU6 4th video IF amp V8 6AL5 Video detector V9 6AU6 1st video amplifier V10 6AQ5 2nd video amplifier V11 12AU7 Sync sep./DC rest.
