[Boatanchors] NSN Search Question

[Richard W. Solomon]

The plot thickens ... these are 4" square CRT's and one of the 
boxes has a Fair Radio shipping label on it.
They are made by Sylvania and are marked SC2799 P7.
A search of the Fair Radio site came up empty. Too bad I didn't 
keep those old catalogs.

73, Dick, W1KSZ
