Talking A year of service, and still going strong!

This month, it's been a year since I installed a newly rebuilt CRT from VDC into my 1966 Curtis Mathes. The set resides in my living room, and is what I watch regularly. In fact, I have a bad habit of letting the TV run for several hours and no one is even watching it. Although I spend 6 months of the year at sea, this set makes up for that time while I'm home.

So far, it has been a great performer. The color of the rebuilt tube is still great, and I haven't needed to make any sort of adjustments once I got the set into it's spot in the living room.

Here's some recent screen photos from the set... still as vivid as the day I installed the CRT. my favorite shot is the salad.

CM picture tube pictures

Charlie,

Your CM really looks good. I should have some pixs of your rebuilt VDD 21 inch tube in about a week. Meantime take a look at my low res. Hallicrafters 7JP4 set posted under ancient B & W and Projection sets.
