I lugged the set down into the basement. Awkward cabinet to move. Very front heavy and not much to hold on to.

I'm also pretty sure the legs are on backwards. The service info shows the legs protruding in the front to line up with the bezel. That makes a lot more sense and I'll try to flip them around.


CRT is absolutely filthy. I'll unmount and clean the face + bezel after I get it working.


Finally, time for a first power up and it just sprang to life!


After some tweaks. Do you prefer with or without the halo?


After a few more tweaks. Image quality is fair, sound is fine. The fine tuning knob is stuck or maybe I just don't know how it works?
To be continued...
