1984 Gold Star TV

I've had this TV since I was in 5th grade. Even though it's not American, it's still pretty sentimental as it was one of my first "vintage" TV's. I turned it on today for the first time in four years. The CRT is -extremely- weak, it has terrible focus, and the flyback is making some horrendous noises. It's missing a power/volume knob, so you have to use a pair of pliers to turn it on. I'm going to take it apart and clean it one day - I never did that. This TV is incredibly high hours and all that dirt and dust is still in there.
