Hi All!
Thanks to all the well wishers..it was a nice find, and a set that is really nice to look at...a really pretty blonde set from the 1950s, and a color TV that is a significant find, which, as mentioned, is not an RCA...although finding the RCA prototype was a heart pounding experience
I haven't had much time to check it out..thanks John for the CRT testing advice...and thanks Steve for all of the advertising & tech info of the set!
As for becoming a collector, it seems we collect too many bills to keep TVs...but temporarily, it does look good in the living room! I'll do a bit more research, and then decide what will become of our beauty...
