There's some old threads or discussions on how the new improved red phosphors were more red orange than true red. From what I heard the red phosphor was rare and hard to obtain? I really wish these weren't such finicky crts. Chris got a great deal, set had older restoration, picked up set locally and avoided costly shipping expense. That brass replacement knob IS actually solid machined brass and is quality. The finish is really a mood point, this tv is far from a basket case. Nice score.
