Lovely ain't it? I left the rest of the cabinet in his mini storage. the front of the cabinet literally fell off while I was testing the CRT!
Seller was stubborn so I wound up paying pretty much what a good 12" CRT is worth (it checks very good) I also got most of the knobs, a back, a front trim plate and of course a chassis, which I'll probably strip for parts to save space (I already have a nicer one sitting in the garage).
He also had a couple of 1958 RCA Jetsons looking 17" metal portables but they were very rusty, inside and out, also the CRT's were very, very dead.
I left them there but told him someone might give him the $50 each he wanted if they just wanted something for a retro project of some sort.
Better to fishtank junk than something fixable.
