If you like the TV and it's in good condition, CRT tests strong, Yes!
Rather rare model in blonde, nice looking set with the doors open, big
blonde cube with the doors closed.

I wouldn't mind having an iconic set like a Porthole, or a Predicta, but I have to get rid of my other large consoles first. Anyone willing to trade for a Philco and a Sylvania Halolight? lol

I suppose you're right John, the good CRT thing does make it worthwhile. I wish we knew if it was or not, that's the only problem with this kind of thing. Just take a chance I guess. The blondes are quite pretty even with a bad CRT :D
