Ended up saving this one, along with two old tube record players, from the dump. A lady called and asked if I wanted this. And, of course, I said "yes". The only thing I've done was plug it in and it's dead except for the thump of the degaussing coil. The date sticker is gone; but, I'd say it was made between '79 and '81, since I think these were the years that GE plastered "performance" on their TV's. From what I remember, these 17" AC chassis sets had great pictures; so, this one will probably be a keeper if I can get it going.
