People "put up with" cheaply-built equipment because they do not want to "put up with" paying $900 for a VCR anymore, as this model probably cost. Would you "put up with" paying $1900 for a 19-inch color TV today? (That is my guess of the equivalent value of the $450 cost of a color TV in 1964.) If you want to spend that much, I bet you could find someone who would hand-rebuild a set and put in a newly-rebuilt CRT for you.
