A note to all the folks trying to figure out the access to the crt and some other details on this photo. This photo, lifted off of my web site by prewtv without my permission, was dramatically damaged in a flood 11 years ago. I spent the better part of a week part time, easily 3 mandays, on the Macintosh rebuilding the lost sections of the image. Almost 30% of the image was lost, including all details of the rear of the crt housing as well as the mount of the housing to the top of the cabinet. All of the details now on this photo are my best guess, and not necessarily correct. I did have the additional advantage that I have a photo of the set, in B&W, from the magazine article, that shows a smaller but relatively undamaged shot from which I gleened some information. This photo shows the set with a test pattern, which can of course can be faked.
About two years ago I drew up drawings for the replication of this set, including mag deflection crt access, as scaled to fit a 10" crt. It will be a while before I get to this project so good luck and best wishes to those who try!
This photo is why I am in the TV collecting hobby, and I saved the magazine it is enlarged from from the trash several times when parents wanted to house clean. Just wish I could have saved it from the '93 flood!

Found place with AMERICAN HOME mags ask about buying this special edition. All other uses of your pic will end in about a week.
Again sorry.
