Well, the rebroadcast tonight of Rudolph made me try the old GE. I hooked it up to cable and plugged it in to warm up the tubes and got my camera. I was rewarded with a picture and great sound, but the horizontal and maybe the vertical too are out of sync. The horizontal hold is in the back and if you look at the edges of the picture, you can see it's in a large stereo cabinet and I can't get it out without a lot of help. You can see part of my couch too. A lot would have to be moved just to get to the back.
So watching it tonight is out, but hey, at least the 45-year-old girl still works and I get full horizontal and vertical and color. The picture tube is still bright too, but a bit on the green side at the edges. See the attached picture.
I don't want to hijack this thread about Rudolph and turn it into a repair thread, so if I need help on it, I'll make a separate post. I just wanted to show the old TV trying its best.
