I recently got this 17" Sparton from a TV shop and it looks to be a better quality TV. Unfortunately, the model number is gone; but, the repairman was nice enough to indicate that it's in Sam's #232. The CRT is a Hytron tube with a 1960 date code; but, unfortunately, it's nearly dead and no amount of cooking or rejuvenation will help. I'm going to have to dig up the Sam's so that I can see exactly what type CRT this set uses and I'll then have to track down a CRT.
