It's better than the BPC/SPC crap of the last decade; but, it's certainly not up to the standards of older Sony's. The biggest functional problems I had with these were bad connections in the horizontal, vertical, and power supply areas and any bad connections in the HOT circuit will take out the HOT and several power supply parts. And, I've seen a fair amount of weak CRT's in Sony's of this era. I would want to see it in operation before purchase and if the CRT looked good and the cabinet was not cracking, I might pay up to $20 for it if I needed a TV. Even if it works, I'd still open it and resolder the connections in the areas I mentioned.
