Just spotted this available locally. Can't make out the name, although it's an obvious RCA clone. Looks like it's in pretty decent shape. I think it uses a 10BP4. I have a spare if it has a bad crt. Worth $120 ?

Crosley, parts of the letters have broken off.

The safety glass is missing and the cabinet looks refinished.

Might be worth it if the back and the HV cage is present and the CRT is good.

I have a Crosley, but it doesn't look like this one.

Here's a picture of my Crosley.

Looks like the same clone, but completely different cabinet. Is it a different model Crosley?

630 clone but a rarely seen name, I'd grab it for that price!
Pretty sure the safety glass is behind the front on this one unlike the RCA which has it in front.

If you like it, and have the money; then it's well worth $120 I say. Especially when you have an extra jug! Just DON'T plug it into the wall receptacle!
