Yeah, it is a workhorse for sure. When I first powered it up it was DEAD. no filaments, no degauss, nothing. The AC interlock on the cabinet back wasn't making connection. Also the purity was wayy out with a huge purple blotch on the upper right side. All in all, I really didn't have to do anything to this tv. (no component replacement I mean) Didn't even clean the tuner! That's quality.
