I was excited when I found this that it would be a perfect work horse even in this day and age. Supposedly dependable, decent viewing size, and good sound. Thats all I need!!

24" B&W sets are less common than 21" sets well into the early 1960's (when both 21" and 24" sets became rare and were replaced with integral cover glass 22" types).
Actually, having access to catalogs and magazines from the era, I'm surprised that there are as many 24" sets as there are, They were far more expensive that like-equipped 21" models (despite the fact that they often had the same chassis and the price of the 24" CRT alone was not much more than that of a 21" CRT).
