update-my garage is a hangout for various friends.today,i had all 3 sets on at the same time.the gt matic with the rca crt,the e-45 with the vdc crt and the e-48 superset with the original 25vdmp22.all are adjusted the same,ie,contrast,brighness,color,tint,sharpness.we watched several programs on air tv with a zenith converter box.approx 21 people all had the same opinion,the sharpest,brightest,best overall picture was on.......................................gt-matic!all 3 are very good,but the gt matic was the the overwhelming choice.of course,"my mother the car" and "its about time" didnt look all that good but the army navy game was really beautiful to watch on these sets.i never really cared for the rca brand crts back in the day but i have found a great respect for them over the years.big dave is correct.it does have a better picture than the original crt.i will not touch this set again.it will stay as it is.bonanza and laramie both something to see on this set.they even said the picture was as good or even better than a flatscreen.i think it is just the thought of 40 year old sets still working and looking good.i did a triple crown survey once when i had my shop.zenith chromacolor,sylvania e-41and rca xl100.all sets had strong crts,adjusted the same and lined up side by side with only the crts showing.no cabinets or brand names were visible.after 30 days and a couple hundred customers participating,the winner by a huge margin was the xl100.sylvania and zenith were 2nd and 3rd separated by 1 vote.wait until i get my avante working!
