Early '70's 19" Panasonic B&W TV

Today, I went to a new junk outlet and among the piles of modern CRT TV's, there was this 19" Panasonic B&W. He said that it sort of worked; but, I always take such claims with a grain of salt. I gave him the $10 he wanted and this is the first time in many years that I've found a 19" B&W set of any kind in a second-hand store.

I got it home and except for the tube filaments lighting, it's totally dead. When I pulled the back, the fusible resistor in the power supply has pretty much vaporized itself and the CRT checks weak (this is an instant on set).

I'm holding off on rejuvenating the tube because I'm going to do a youtube video on the repair of this set. As is, it would make a picture; but, not a very good one.

Since this set has the modern Panasonic logo, I'd say it's from '72-'73. Cosmetically, it needs a bath and one of the antennas is broken.
