Here is a CM we got for free from an estate sale. The CRT is dated 1966.
Amazingly the CRT electrically seems to still be good even though the set has instant-on. It does have a mold problem so I may swap in an RCA black matrix tube someone donated to us when they recycled a TV cabinet into a bookshelf. Eventually I'd like to try the heatgun trick on the orignal CRT as it seems to have a lot of life left. The focus isn't quite as good is it should be though.
