A lot of 1960s styrene cabinet tube radios do not survive today because of the tube heat making the plastic brittle.

How about some pictures of that set?

I cant seem to find the charger for my Digital Camera battery. It's somewhere here among the clutter. I'll get pictures up tonight, or tomorrow at the latest.

My daily watcher at work is a 25" Sharp "BPC" that has a busted cabinet, epoxied together! It was my Dad's VCR bench set - great electronics, lousy cabinet, couldn't sell it, so it got relegated to VCR test bench use......and now I watch the news at lunch on it!
