Here is an oddball you don't see very often

Almost forgot I had this set. I found it buried in the utility room while cleaning.
It is a ~ 1970 vintage Heathkit 19" color set. Model GR-500. Inline gun, slotted mask. It came with all assembly manuals.
This was a CL find a year or so back. The gentleman I got it from wanted it to go to a Heath collector. I explained I wasn't a true Heath collector, but that I did have Heath gear in my ham shack, but that I was really a tv collector. So he gave it to me with the hope I would restore it to its glory.

As you can see from the photo, the set has a big problem. Almost certain that the CRT has reached the end of its life. I may try a rejuv when I come across a better tester, but I doubt it will do any good. The longer the set is on, the better the pic gets. I did watch some of the last olympic games on the set, feeding it with cable, and using the PPC(preset picture control), Heaths answer to Zeniths Color Sentry!!! lol
