There was also a Bicentennial version of the SF tube chassis set that was housed in a case like what was used on the solid state XB chassis sets. During the '70's, the cheaper tube type SF chassis sets were built at the same time as the higher priced solid state XB chassis sets. The XB sets were the better performer and were built better than the tube SF version. I have a NOS 15" SE chassis GE (branded "packard bell") that is fairly cheaply built and has vertical sweep problems.
