Finally one shows up nearby.

Now that I've had one for a few years.

This is the set I was looking for for so long, at one time I would have paid the $199 but not now.

I did not know that model was a metal cabinet set. Do you have a thread on the restoration if your set?

Yeah, it started out at $199 then was changed.

CaptMoody sold me one with the original stand for $25, the shipping cost a bit though because I used C&F, that's the reason I'd probably ante up for this one if I still needed it.

I'm probably the only person on the planet (at the time) who would have paid that much for one of these so I suspect this one will go unsold, if it dropped to $50 I would consider it as a parts unit.

GE Designer Series. A popular TV, lots of them sold.

The cabinet front and center section is plastic. Only the rear cover is metal. Decent TV. Will produce a good, stable picture. It is considerably overpriced.

On this 21" model only the front section is plastic, the rest is metal, Aluminum cabinet with textured Vinyl/fabric covering, Steel back.

The 17" version had a plastic cabinet with a metal back and no handles on the side.

This particular model and color is the same set I had as a kid, bought by my Dad when he and my Mom were first married.
