Given how rare decent GEs from the 50s or 60s are, I’d look past the bumpski, get the CRT, and gopher it!

Got remote & UHF too !
This was before GE built mostly junk so may pay for it if you gotta have it. Zeno |

I'm still arranging to get it, it IS quite far from me, then once I do get my paws on it, I'll try to bring it up with the 8YP4.
Then comes the real pain of tracking down a viable replacement CRT.

That is one of the 1957-58 models with a vertically oriented chassis U1 or U2. The CRT is a 90-degree 21CBP4 or similar, very easy to find.
This was one of GE's first models using the "new" printed circuit boards. I had a table model with just power tuning and it was fun to service into a great performer, far better than GE's "portable" models. I have a 1956 "Ultra Vision" with controls (and chassis) above the picture tube the last GE using dip-soldering. Its 21AUP4 was dead but the ETF sold me a NOS Raytheon replacement at reasonable cost. It makes a raster even before a re-cap, GE used fewer but better parts , Philco on the other hand..... This is absolutely worth getting for the sheer fun of it or at least saving from a terrible fate.

I did e-mail ETF with a heads up that a CRT will be needed at some time at a future date, no reply yet, but its only been 2 days.
