Hey Bob, it's nice to hear from you. Yeah, I found a site called SMC Electronics that has my model listed. It's Model L1846R, Chassis 19L25. I have a couple pictures I took of the television's chassis when I pulled it all out for cleaning. There was a huge amount of dust I had to sweep and vacuum out of there, and I noticed this black material around the back of the yoke that had deteriorated. I'm not sure what the gray coating on the CRT is called, but it's peeled off in several places. Other than that, it's kinda spiffy in there.
I picked up this television in a bit of a rush last week when I ran across it on Craigslist. The man told me that it had been his grandfather's television and that it had worked the last time he'd checked. But alas, all he could get on the screen at this point was the grey line and so, he told me he'd take $25 for it. And so... I brought home my first vintage television set. All of it's issues aside, I'm honestly thrilled that I finally found one!
