say what you will, but I have one of them it took several 300v or 150V single side surges from a faulty power line transformer for several months on and off and it still wont give up entirely it still powers up but a resistor took the brunt of it and melted it to a red blob it made it through my father who watched tv 24/7 from 1977 to 1994 until I inherited it and he forced it to work into the night capturing on air channels out of Detroit that ran all night from 1977 to 1991 until cable came to his house. He wore the finish off from the steel near the internal tuner changer under that XL-100 bezel I think they are nearly bullet proof if any tv makes it through him LOL!
