this didnt look too bad for the start

I had the exact same model when I was a kid, and it was a really good performer. Couldn't take it when we moved, so it was given away. If it were closer, this one would be in my collection. Sigh...

As usual too far to go after.
Looks like it was loved.
I wish vintage sets, especially RCA sets, were prevalent around here, but they are not - only ge/thompson/rca/zenith particle board/vinyl sets in this area. Bah Humbug.

Looks like the table version of my set:

even down to where the cheater cord connects.
Mine worked even before a recap, though my CRT is weak. Runs fine on a brightner, but that's still a brightner... :no:
