Hello from Portland, OR

[TheShanMan]

It does have vertical sweep actually. That pic must have been the result of perfect timing. I didn't even realize it was showing that line in it.

Yes, it has UHF. As far as I can tell it lived its whole life in the Portland area. There are a couple of loose "chassis identification" tags floating around inside which say "Portland" on them. I'm not sure if those would've come with the unit originally or (my guess) they were some sort of service tag. I wouldn't expect the Portland area to have been a big enough market to warrant the addition of UHF if it was that uncommon then, but I suppose if California was their major market then that would be enough to explain it.

In my researching I did come across the "pilot light" term but didn't know quite what that was at the time. Now that you mention it though, there doesn't appear to be any form of lighting for the dial or any other part of the radio/turntable compartment. There is on the TV tuner though.

Thanks for your response. I'm really enjoying learning about this.
