She is indeed a machine. Still pretty much feel like a kid around it.
Makes me think that RCA was trying their foray into the CM realm. I have only seen pics of the big CM sets but after this grand lady, can't EVEN imagine seeing one of those come into the house. I am fortunate to have a partner who mostly likes em too. My next door neighbor thinks I am nuts and she KNOWS she is glad she isn't my wife. LOL
Here are a couple more pics of the innards and such. The screen shot of the commercial is before resetting the yoke, purity and vertical height.
I was watching it some more last night during the news and the pic was incredible. Quality, with exception of the blacks, rivaled my DLP set. Color was very close. I am debating on whether or not to touch up the crt. The crt delivers a really good picture but one can tell it does have some time on it, probably mainly due to the instant on thing. Don't get me wrong, as you can see from the pics of the chassis, it has been played. But the dust is just dust, not the greasy mess that it seems to get to when really played hard. The crt will lose just a touch of focus when brightend up. The focus pot is all the way to the right and has no more travel. I will be checking the voltages on the crt and the crt itself to get a good idea of just what kind of shape it is really in. But the pic is good enough that I may not do more than cook it a bit. And at 26,500 volts, that chassis packs a whollop.
