I grabbed the one. Just got it yesterday. It is a neat little TV. January 1981.

It works fine as is. When I got it, it definately had "screwdriver drift." The green screen was maxed out with retrace lines, and the vert. size was on max as well. Redid grayscale and focus. No adjustments for the drives, they're automatic. And whomever took it apart last to mess with everything also took the schematics that were stored in the back cover.

It did do something weird however: The color control had no effect, but it was at the proper intensity, so I figured I'd troubleshoot it later on. An hour after being on, I heard something make a quiet snap, and it suddenly began working. Odd. Been working fine since.

Sharp focus, but has the same dot pitch as the striped phosphor portacolors, so its limited there.

No separate AFC switch, but when you push the fine tuning knob in to adjust, it turns it off, and when you release it, turns it back on.
