I'm up in the mountains near the I-40/I-26 Interchange in Asheville NC.

I'm from Lexington, NC. Just south of Winston-Salem and I-40 and just north of I-85. I've been to Asheville before, to see Biltmore House. I also remember listening to WMIT in Black Mountain when I was a kid and FM was new to me.
The cataract isn't that bad compared to some I've seen on this Forum. At least it's not infested with mold. This TV has never been stored in a basement, but it was located several feet in front of our wood stove for about ten years and it got plenty of dust inside. It's always had a wood smoke smell to it from that dust.
I remember many years ago it had an intermittent in the vertical circuit. All of a sudden the picture would pull up from the bottom and you could hear a hum. It buffaloed our TV repair guy, who was pretty darn good. It turned out to be a bad solder joint on the circuit board and I must have found it, because it stopped and hasn't done it again.
