Wow thanks for all the reply's guys, its been really interesting reading all the posts. Can anyone tell me if Packard Bell made all of their own tubes? I remember reading somewhere that there are certain tubes that were only made by a few companies...
I just rechecked my avatar set and all the tubes are PB except for one RCA tube. I guess that means its not 100% factory original
For some reason its been difficult to find any info on this particular set, or even PB TV's in general. I think mainly because its not old enough to be of interest to most collectors...but oh well. I also noticed that a previous owner carved their SSN into the back...I thought that was interesting
