I agree with Compucat on the style... I like it too. But I also have to throw a wet blanket on the idea of making it a daily TV, because that chassis is very troublesome in my opinion. Constant problems, even when they were reasonably new. Most of them were junked with bad flybacks. Dr. Dan has one that is one of his daily watchers, and like the rest of those Magnavox tube sets, it's ALWAYS having something wrong.

So to get it and fix it up as a collectors items is GREAT... But don't plan on using it all the time. If you want a vintage daily watcher, get a Zenith or an early 70s Sony.
