Pretty sure this one is a lot older than 1977?

I have the plain-Jane version (no faux wood) of this one. I bought it new in 1967.

That one looks like it has a continuous UHF tuner which would have been phased out by the late 70's. So I'd say its an older one.

It arrived yesterday and works fairly good. Lots of change during warmup. Fine tuning really drifts during the first 15 minutes as does color and V hold.
Major cigarette dump on this set....why does every set I get seem to have lived with smokers..
The screen controls were all at max but they didnt need to be. I set them all to around half and its bright enough. The contrast is a bit low though, almost washed out at times. I wonder what the odds of getting a crt for this would be.
