I could have bought the original 1966 model back in the day, but dismissed it for it's picture quality. Now I have this one for the unique inline CRT and collection.

It sounds like the crt is gassy. Usually, You get trailing colors and can't get proper gray-scale. When those sets first came out, the imports started coming here. They were selling 14" color sets for under $200. They had a little better picture and a larger picture. Most weren't as reliable as the porta-color.
