Yes I agree, Ive been tinkering with this Maggie in the back of my explorer, I had a 68 Maggie console identical to yours a few years back.... I can tell this one is an oldie! I remember now that maggie chassis used a push pull rod for focus.. Kinda odd but that was the focus deal, now it needs convergence and some purity alignments, im assuming this is the cause to the really warped pincushion on the top.. Also I have this tv hooked to a vcr thaqt produces a blue raster when it's playing, the tv is picking this up as sweeping red and green color bars scrooling accross the screen, looks like either demod tubes or burst amp, those 6GH8A's are a pain when it comes to finding one that actually doesn't have some kinds h-k short in my stash...
BTW, thought this was kinda cool, the service tag in the set was the same address the estate sale was at. The woman told me they bought it brand new (sometime in the 60's) , it sat in the same spot since new, and has not been powered up since 1978 when they got there new set. *Maggie as well and still working*
