If it were necked the center would be black and the outside green not the other way around like it is....I say bad cateract, and if it is that bad it may not take much if any effort to fix.
I think Jeffhs is jealous or biased against most collectible sets. The issues he mentions (other than the CRT) are all possibilities on most collectible sets, but tend to be the exception rather than the norm. As many have said TV collecting is a hobby, and not a business and if you are in it to make money then you are in the wrong place. We put money in to these sets to enjoy them not to turn a profit. And by his logic nearly EVERYTHING I enjoy and have restored (for fairly reasonable parts cost BTW) is not worth it, a bad investment, and good only for parts. People restore 20's radios and motorcycles that have little left other than a conglomeration of rust molecules held together by dirt for Christ sakes! Something in that decent of shape should be easy, cheap, and fun by comparison....a pinch of howards on the cabinet, new lytics, replace paper and drop caps, some adjustments and it should be as good as new.
