Electrostatic sets can look good when properly restored. Here is a picture from my Motorola 9VT1 with the 8BP4 electrostatic tube which is electrically identical to the 7JP4 except with an 8" screen. It will never look as good as an electromagnetic deflection set with an aluminized picture tube but for what it is it works well. Not bad for a 58 year old picture tube, eh?
