Well, in case you haven't seen my other post,
http://videokarma.org/showthread.php?t=253270, my Emerson ECR1350 is having some issues. The folks here have been helpful, but until I can find time to look deeper into it I would like to have another tube to watch.
So I went to my local thrift stores and took note of the models that interested me:
RCA EJR3305
JVC C-13110
GE 13GP244
Sharp 13F-M100 (Linytron)
Sylvania CBE1525L01
MGM/Mitsubishi CS-1342R
Can anyone comment if any of these have a good track record, good picture quality, or if any are to be avoided? In particular, I like the Sharp, Slyvania, and MGM, because I love the retro look of the MGM and Sylvania (see photos below, Sylvania on left), and the Linytron is a clone of the fabulous Trinitron sets. Thanks!
