I drove all the way to Seattle from Boise to go to a Estate sale just to pick up a bunch of roundie sets. Between Damen and I, we picked up 6 or 7 sets and only 1 had a bad CRT but we also picked up 4 extra CRT's which only 1 was bad. We did not test any CRT's until we got to Portland. Just took a chance with them. Sometimes you get lucky. Sure it cost about $500 for the trip but it was well worth the effort. It's great practice for Snelson to restore such a set and if it gives him joy, so be it. I know it will turn out nice in the end.
