I'll concede that it's doable then, but generally more difficult and expensive to get those you want.

A TV station I worked for back then had at least 30 of these sets all over the control room, and all over the rest of the building. The employees were encouraged to select our off-air signal, and then compare it to the in-house video signal. If we saw anything bad, we would call master control.

I loved working for an independent TV station back before FOX, etc.

I agree.. Seems like big corporations are taking over everything.. Soon they'll have us locked in cages..

No such thing as mom and pop anymore..

If you think that's bad, you should've seen that 1969 PYE 24C-4 I dragged home. It makes this Sony looks like a pristine show-room example! I ended up tossing it because the cabinet fell apart.

One nice thing about European modern style cabinets like that is that it is relatively easy for one that knows woodwork to make a convincing replica of the cabinet or rebuild it replacing non carved rotted wood... Of course if the cabinet failure took out the CRT or any other unobtainum then you would be up the proverbial creek.

Sadly the set was a total write-off, as rats ate all the internal wiring, speaker cones, and decided to chew through the LOPT for some strange reason.

Nevermind, found the answer in an earlier post.
