I brought it to PA and it has been lounging on my porch for all this time under cover on a stand. It has been outside for 20 years in the heat and cold. I may have powered it up once 10 years ago. And today it surfaced and I just gave it 110v to see what happened.
It lit in full glorious snow. No signal nearby. Full sweep, sound, and what looks like chroma in the snow and fully tint adjustable. It does look a bit flat on contrast in the snow. Stay tuned. As they say...it just needs a tube. They may be right.

It looks like a CTC53, Hybrid set. Probably using the low focus CRT.
