GR-104C, very nice!

Those cost about $180 as a kit around 1979, far more than a store-bought 12" B&W TV set at the time. But, it was the only set that size with lit channel indicators, and maybe the only one with memory VHF fine tuning as well.

I bought and built that same set, from an electronics surplus store that got some of those from a school or something, so it only cost $88 at the time. I gave mine away in about 1996, and I wish I still had it. The cabinet on mine had indeed yellowed a lot by then.
