My late Grandmother had a knob tuned Philco in this screen size. She bought it in Athens, Tennessee from Plaza Electronics in 1981-1983. Her set was reliable the first 18 months, then ate flyback transformers. Replaced a few. Weak and dim CRT is what finished it off after one rejuv. She then had a 17" Zenith and it lasted until 1987, lightning got it 3 times. She bought a 17" Sanyo in 1985, a Forrest City ex-Warwick plant set she bought at Wal-Mart for her bedroom. It lasted until just after she died around 25 or so years later. In the home my Mom and I share in Athens.
