thanks, yep losing NTSC was a sad time in the history of TV.

Yes I agree 100 percent.It was a sad day and lost my mom couple days before the shutdown.

BTW .Heres the Emerson model that I have in the photo below.

WEB photo .Not my set.

I think most dont like them because at the end of NTSC set production they
became pure junk. Lots at the fleas & yard sales but I dont give
them a second look. Older ones are different. The origional Jap sets were
very well made but big $$$. Then the Koreans came along & got the
price down & they became popular. Not as good as a Jap ones
but not bad either. I liked doing them, only had a few common problems
& easy once you got the hang of things small. Forget the latter China ones,
pure crap on any count.

That was our family's kitchen TV when I was growing up. It had intermittent vertical rolling issues for the longest time until I or my folks discovered it had a vertical hold knob on the side....

Our original one got tossed in working order during our first move. I've since grabbed a free one for nostalgia / to go with the car adapter from the original one I later found.
