This was the start time of MANY FBT problems on most brands.
Prices were all over the place. One bottom line Hitachi 13" net
was abt $65 + shipping. Its 19" brother was ony $35, go figure.
Some brands like Zenith, RCA, Toshiba & Sony held up better but
they made up for it in spades in the 90's. And yes the FBT's went
on these cross bred GE's just like the pure Pannys.
My favorite FBT was Hitachi. To confirm it we put in a fuse & HOT
then ran it on low V. The FBT would snap some then crack open
with a big snap. Smoke & puss would pour out of it. The things we
did when bored
Maybe some time I will write about the GIANT elastic.........
