I spent alot of time soldering these RCAs when they got to be 14+ years old. They were truly worth the effort. There were other mostly tube 15-inch color portables from Sylvania and Admiral that seemed OK but I saw few of them.

I never bought myself a TV either, just CRTs and other major investments where warranted
