Had an '81 Sylvania that looked just like this one....worked but infested with ants as found. Tossed it sadly.
Judging by your photo, and the darkening near the flyback, this was a heavily used set. Good to hear the crt rejuve'd nicely. These really are some workhorses. IIRC, mine had a great pic in the brief period when I used it in my garage.

Yes, this TV looks like it's had a zillion hours of use. The CRT was probably a decent built tube; just used to near death.
I used to see a few of these chassis back in the '90's. I think the last one I saw was in a hospital set about 5 years ago. That one had digital cable ready remote tuning and made a good picture. IIRC, the PC board in the hospital version was a little more robust than what's in the consumer version. I think the hospital set had a blue PC board and the one in my set is green. There were also some 25" consoles and some 13" portables that used the same basic chassis.
