I have a MGA CS1939, 20" color set dated 1985. The lady I got it from bought it new from Macy's on Queens blvd in Forest Hills NY, said she never needed a repair. I keep it as an example of the 80's with a Colortrak and a System 3 motel set.

I worked a bench in the mid-80's during college, in the rare event I saw an MGA, it had a failing CRT after 10 years of hard use.

I am resisting buying an HD set until I am over-ruled, probably real soon.
