Design Life of Vintage TV sets

[Sandy G]

Well, I got some bad/good news from Terry today...The 2 little color sets I took down to him are pretty much at the ends of their lives-The 9" 1968-71 era Panasonic, & the Sony 8" Trinitron from about '75. The Panny has a weak CRT, & the Sony has a squirrely flyback. But I've only had these l'il guys about a year, & I have no way of knowing how hard lives they led B4 I got 'em. The GOOD news is the little cathedral 1937 Philco got a new lease on life & is prolly playing as good as it did when bran-spankin' new.. Rode down w/fellow AKer John James, & got a big surprise when we got there-Kent Teffeteller had come up from Athens to see Terry,too, so it was kinda like "Old Home Week"....BEAUTIFUL day, couldn't ASK for nicer weather.
