thanks,bryan.as i ve posted before,my first job in the shop was adjusting convergence and cleaning tuner contacts.we almost never used a rca crt back then.rarely used them in rca sets.the zenith crts were the preference.they always looked great and never came back.still intrigued with the sylvania crt at the etf.swapping a crt in sylvanias are a snap.probably the easiest set.this set has became my daily watcher since i got it.i also have a e 45 and e 48 superset.the superset has an excellent crt.i got it at an estate sale.it was purchased new in early 1979 and never serviced!used daily until 2005 when it was replaced with a 32 inch panasonic.moved to the basement ,it was used a few hours a day.she offered it for free but i paid her for it.this gt matic has the brightest,sharpest picture of the three i have in the garage,in a side by side comparison.
