We had a Montgomery Ward branded GE 19 inch set in 1980 that had the grey faced tube. I remember the color was fantastic. The set ran for three years before the white four lead safety cap shorted. After that was fixed the set ran trouble free for many years after. The plastic cabinet always felt rather flimsy but the set was a great performer. We never had trouble with any griplets. I suppose more of these sets would be around if they had better build quality but it was the Eighties after all when most electronics went through a quality slump.
