Thanks for all the info! And the funny thing is when I went in to that thrift store the first trip I was not really even looking for any sets but I always "have" to look at them and this caught my eye as I never seen one like this before I'm glad I did this is the perfect set being Im only going to have one "newer" TV in my collection atleast it's somewhat rare definitely more than a Trinitron would be. I really think the biggest thing I'm surprised by is the great picture it puts out and speakers in this thing they sound great and have a far amount of bass and really good hi's I wonder in a way if they were trying to copy bose being the mid range is somewhat curved to the side and the tweeter is above it also curved farther back some what like a tunnel effect
