One of my client's was cleaning some old junk out of the basement. Looking at the pile waiting for the junk man I noticed this little B&W portable. Looking inside I saw some tubes so I grabbed it.
When I got it home I did the stupid thing and just plugged it in. Amazingly it works perfect! It's a 1974 model RCA AS 120W. The plastic cabinet cleaned up nicely, and the screen is nice and bright.
I also found that there is still a low power VHF station in my area! Video of the TV working here:
