back around 1970 I was in high school, and a neighbor was tossing one of those portable/small RCA B&W TVs from the late 50's. I took it home, but my father saw it as a 13 year old POS and (normally we fixed old TV sets for ourselves) my father didn't want to spend any time or money on a set with such a small screen.... I do remember that the horiz output tube had a cathode to heater short, but I was on the usual starvation level kid allowance, so couldn't afford new tubes or other such stuff at the time....
