I'm surprise the ad copy, didn't say, takes less than a 75 watt lamp.
A good friend of our family, received one, as interest on a CD. I don't remember the denomination of same, but it was, when the interest rate went sky-high.
I took the set apart, on their kitchen table, to clean the tuner. That the only trouble they had with it. It was used until they passed away. An easy twenty years.
