One of the best, most reliable TVs ever built. I still have one that I bought at the Salvation Army Store in '81, and just since I've had it, it's been through a house fire, been moved a dozen times, and been thrown across the room on it's face in the 1994 Northridge Earthquake. Knobs melted off in the fire, and the color oscillator module got knocked loose on it's socket in the quake, but the set still works fine to this day, and of course has a new cabinet & knobs since the fire, and new grille after the quake!
