Looks like nice tv set, wish i could get them. As a kid we had a tube set magnavox. Maybe late 60's, could have been up to 71. We got it used so can't be sure. I think it was a lemon because it was blowing tubes all the time, and the crt was kind of dark. But we kept it up until about 1980, when we got the solid state magnavox. Bought that one new, but it was a 79 model. That one never had one issue its entire life. It got so much use. My mom would turn it on for her soap operas. The rest of us would come home from school and watch tv until bedtime. My oldest brother would then come home from work at midnight and watch it and fall asleep. I would get up for school and turn off.
The thing about the old one is it never rendered greens very well. Maybe something to do with the auto-tint. Other than that it had a nice picture.
