These sets use a Toshiba Blackstripe CRT. I attribute that fact to their great picture quality.I have got a few, an '83, '84, and an '87 and all worked as found with a killer picture. The chassis themselves are basic singleboard design, nothing to write home about, but some of the most reliable I've seen.
My 13" Sharp from '84 saw heavy use over the years and finally developed a collapsed vertical. Fearing I'd have to source the IC, I simply touched up the pin solder and it has been rock solid since.
