I trash picked one while riding my bike in a rainstorm back in 1982, I was in 7th grade at the time. Used it a lot back then, and every once in a while up till the picture tube finally gave up the ghost about 2 years ago. My friend Preston has it now, he has a picture tube for it and it'll be back in operation again soon
.
I have no complaints about its long service. The picture was always pretty washed out, but then again I never did a thing to it except replace a couple tubes, so it's not fair for me to judge......
