bought my first vintage set

[radiotvnut]

My only experiences with the YM chassis were bad flyback transformer's (common problem) and weak CRT's (another common problem). The CRT is among the first 25" inline CRT's, as opposed to delta gun CRT's that everyone else was using in their consoles at the time. The CRT looks decent in yours; but, I'd try to track down a spare flyback. The flyback's for those sets were hard to get 20 years ago.

I also like the fact that this set uses regular mechanical tuners. GE used electronic tuning in their more upscale sets that could be a real problem.

Just be glad you didn't get the EM chassis. Those were a real bear, along with the 19" EC chassis.
