I stumbled across this listing on eBay, and it almost seems to good to be true for me:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-1940...g/311967834272
It was soft-started, and the CRT comes in strong, and it seems all is well. But there's no indication given as to previous care. Restoration is recommended from the seller. I'm guessing that it's current state was just luck, and I'd end up with something going amiss sooner rather than later.
While I'm not thinking I'm going to lose the CRT, what would I risk in purchasing this?
TL;DR: Interested in a working Victor 8-T-241. No history of restoration or care. CRT seems strong. What are my risks?
