Funny you mention that, as I found the orange and cream one sitting out at the curb on trash day near a friend's house. The other was $5. at a garage sale. I'm not really a vintage TV guy but thought the styling was interesting. (To answer the obvious question, I'm here more for the vintage radio content)
These guys have been display only, and have never had power in any form applied to them during my ownership. I -am- curious as to why one of the CRTs looks darker than the other.
BTW, I take no offense at dieseljeep's comment. Even though I'm not a TV expert, I'm pretty confident these -weren't- at the top of the heap performance wise. I was just yanking his chain....
