Strange sets. They could last forever BUT just barely worked. When we fixed
them we only got them to function again, not a full repair like
a well built set would get.
I do NOT miss working on them

The first model, that used the two circuit boards was nasty. The thing used a shrink-fit plastic on the CRT, that was used as implosion protection that would turn yellow and didn't even have a CRT socket. It had individual pins that connect to the CRT.
The newer model that used one PC board, wasn't as bad.
I scrapped the older model. but I used the fancy handle on a box fan.
