Yeah, especially if they weren't made by RCA. There was a late-60s RCA in the local listings a while back that went pretty fast.

By the way, I checked the date code on what is likely the original CRT as it's Admiral-labeled; it says 7052, so it's pretty safe to say that this set is a 1971 model.

Well, considering that it's an "instant play" set, I decided to plug it in and just wait for a while. Of the four tubes in the front row, the middle two were showing no signs of life. Please bear with me, the only tube whose function I know is the horizontal output tube. Upon applying full power I get the usual "no signal" audio, but there is no sign of snow on the screen and in a few seconds, pop goes the breaker.

I posted chassis pics to my Flickr account.
