As good a reason as any to post a pic of my own PortaColor. First model, 1966. Works and looks perfect, haven't touched it. Came with the original cart, too! Cost me $60. I love these little Port-os, the way they maxed out the use of that relatively small number of multi-function tubes to actually come up with a decent color picture (for 1966 and 10 inches, anyway!) Makes for an excellent space heater too ; )

If you haven't done any repairs to the set, there is a cap near the damper or HO tube that is ceramic encased paper that should be replaced, it can short out and explode...have seen this happen on several portacolors.
