I think the Portacraps last so long since they utilize very simple designs.

That and the over-sized guns in the CRT, they are the same as a much larger tube. BTW, where is the set the thread is about? I don't see a link for it, just all kinds of other crap!

Never learned how to do that either. I use the HPS (Hunt, Peck,Swear) system...

zenithfan, I google'd the item number in the original post and found it.

The large guns theory is more correct, you're right. The phosphor looks like it was cut down from a 21" tube also,...

Hey! That is the seller I got my avatar from!! He is cool, his name is Steve. He won't rip anyone off. It was a 1200 mile round trip to his house from mine. Very nice house and neighborhood too. Overland Park is great! Just don't try to eat anywhere on sun. everything is closed except "Bob Evans" restaurant.
Here is a direct link to the Porta Potty

Anyone here bid on this set?

These seem to be the most valuble color TVs after the roundies. Too bad I took mine apart when I was a kid, it was an original TV that was in the family too and it worked!!!!

This one happens to look identical to my Portacolor (also working, see the Show Poracolor thread). I think they probably refreshed the look of them every couple of years.
