Available in the Atlanta area for free. If you're unfamiliar with these they have a 30 inch round metal CRT.
It is complete except for an HV transformer. BUT, this should be easy to cook up. Unlike conventional TV's this uses an autoformer (only 3 connections. The HV oscillator is not part of the horizontal circuit. I think even an old ignition coil from a car would work.
I inherited it with the transformer missing. I think it burned up. (typical.)
They are easy to transport in an Econoline van. Take out the top latch, put in the TV and re-install the top latch. I also remove the chasses to make it lighter, then re-install them at the destination.
