For now, a photo of the entire back, and a close-up of the labeling. It needs a good cleaning for sure.
By the way, I guess I didn't word the tuner range comment very well. Certain channels received by my Trinitron cannot be tuned in on this set even though the tuner covers those channels. Same with the 1986 Sears I just got.
Edit: I just watched a couple of shows on the latter with my Philips Colour Voice 2301 CATV converter hooked up. With that it pulls in the extra channels just fine. No idea why knob tuners won't do it. The converter requires the TV to be set on channel 2, and my 1991 Sears of course uses standby power and defaults to channel 3, so using the box on that would be a bit of extra work. I think my Jerrold StarCom III uses channel 3 though.
