Sandy, that is one of the best vintage-TV stories I've heard! Never occured to me that a crt would float
My port-a-color has definitely seen a LOT of use... Its original owner claims he got it for his 18th birthday.. Now he is nearing retirement. The CRT sticker is marked 52 1966, so, Last week of 1966 I assume? Story checks out. Anyway I don't watch this one much, especially since it pulls 200watts from the wall, and I have to push the brightness too far before It is really watchable. Not to mention the heat this little fella throws. Red is also weak, about 30% weaker than G&Bl. Have the red gain cranked up just to get decent greyscale. Cosmetically I cannot complain. Can't wait to slap the new CRT in it and really see what it can do (I know guys, I won't expect too much out of it).
