Exactly, and by a good margin. The top of mine looks to have been refinished, and the only noticeable finish issue is the front feet. Mine also has the restored chassis* the other set had an unrestored chassis.

*They put it into both sets to prove both CRTs would show a raster. They also either never had or never reinstalled the chassis bolts...I got it into the Burban face down then noticed that...When I lifted the back to try to get the holes to line up with some improvised chassis bolts the chassis slid back and nearly brained the CRT...Scarred me real bad.
