Sony Beta Combo, W/a cataract?

[kx250rider]

All of the '60s-early '80s Sonys had a bonded tube, but it's rare to see a cataract. It may have been in the sun too long, or in other unfavorable elements. I've seen a few of them with those black bubbles, and it's usually ones stored outdoors (or been in a fire).

It's the same tube as all the other 19" Trinitrons from '73 through '78.

We never had a trinitron CRT with a bonded safety glass here in Europe, maybe it was a legal requirement in the US back then?
