Wow! The inside of your set is pristine compared to mine, which looks like it sepnt its life in a greasy kitchen. When you had it open, you didn't happen to note the CRT type, the label is missing from mine and would like to know what type of tube it uses.
Thanks

Hey maxm, you can see in one of the scanned pix that the tube is an 11HP4

I actually looked at that tube chart in the photo for a few minutes, and wondered why there was no CRT listed...

Sorry Guys!

Maybe 'cause "11HP4" sounds sort of like just another Compactron?

Imagine, if the transistor had not been invented, today GE would be making a one tube tv set, maybe they could have put everything inside the picture tube!

Anthony: The S&H was $20, from Oregon to Pennsylvania. Shipping was more than the set, but I wanted it.

Did GE ever make a TV chassis that didn't look like it was built in someone's garage?

Seriously, they were beyond minimalist at times. Oh well..

Unlike Muntz, who clipped parts out until he found the last one that just made it fail, GE reduced the "beefiness" of all the parts until they just were adequate.
