A reminder that if any of these sets are found; the back should be removed so the safety cap can be inspected before operating the set. If it's an orange cap, you're OK. If it's a white cap, it needs to be updated to the orange cap before the set is operated. Those white caps are a bomb waiting to explode and will cause the HV to run very high and it will take out the CRT and maybe other parts. I think the white cap was used in E and F lines. I think the problem was fixed in later models.
