What a piece of junk it was, a year or so in the thermister went up in smoke, and while I had the chassis out I noticed it came new with a REBUILT CRT!

It was definitely not Japanese built, probably a Warwick. 4 or 5 tubes on the chassis and series strung.
That was against the law, even back then. The dealer couldn't sell the set as new. You could have called Sears on that one. They would have had to give your money back.
