While not the best sets in the world, with a hot chassis, (as did nearly ALL sets on the early 1980's era), These are not a bad set for the time. If you do not mind no A'V inputs most likely, they will work ok for a basic analog set. Likely it will have a CTC-117-120 or so chassis. One thing to look for on these is a bad main B+ cap, I think it is mounted on the "chassis" (that real plate) , a 750/200, IIRC. By now--likely some bad caps in the V-out section too. Flybacks also did NOT seem to last too long in these sets. Tubes are not too bad, fair chance of finding a good one now. I saw a few "dead ones' that would just "tick" and do nothing else--turned out to be the deflection processor chip I think.

Like they said take it--if it turns out to be junk--you can get rid of it later. It might open the door to a flatty or even a roundie later on.
