Find me a mint GE Portacolor !

My mint '66 portacolor with NIB crt was lost in a storm. Looking for a new one myself..but I know I will never find one in that condition with brand-new crt again. 11SP22 was the tube..it had coarse phosphor dots but was literally used for less than 5 or 6 hours total.

Is that a real wood cabinet?

If its like the ones we had in Australia,there will be two grey caps across the secondary winding and sometimes one on the primary,change these for x or y rated caps,go intermittent short,fuse blowing bridge rectifier goes open on 1 leg,giving hum bars,if it's one with the synchronous converter,where the line output stage drives the chopper power supply,look for a 220k resistor,replace with 2 100k high voltage types,usual,BU126 or BU208 types suitable as replacements for the power transistors,dry joints on the yoke plug,and horiz drive trans.Sometimes agc lockout caused by a little 1uf cap,hiding on the VHF tuner.
