I was given this exact model set in 1977. It had been dropped and had a crack in the circuit board.

I got the board to flex just right, and popped the crack back in place. I jumped every broken trace, and finally, it lit up.

I never did get color on it, but it had a terrific B/W picture. I sold it for $60.

In the early 1970's, I had another of these sets. Even then, the flyback, which was fried on this example, was unobtainable. I'd say this was around 1972-73.

I loved the rocket HV cage, and all those 6GH8's.
