Also, if that's the one with the faux woodgrain finish, it's devilishly hard to touch up, so make sure it's in good shape. And the cloth is frequently damaged and also difficult to work with. Refinishing a wood-cased set is, in my opinion, a lot easier. So if both those cosmetic items are good, I'd go for it ($25-50; more if you really have the hots for it) but if it's not in good shape, I'd pass, be patient and know that something better will come along. 10BP4s are starting to get a little pricey lately too, so knowing the CRT is good will make it a lot better deal than if you need to also buy a replacement!
