What's so ruined about it?

Oh wait, is it the added in 75 ohm and composite inputs?

I'm guessing that the set is original. The photo is pretty clear and the screen looks like a round B/W CRT. It appears that they just needed composite inputs to use it with their cable.

What is that little round "plug" to the right of the volume/contrast knobs... is that a standard feature for these sets, or perhaps a window for a remote control sensor? Perhaps the junk sticking out the back is the rear of a DTV converter?

Sorry guys, that set has been gutted.

I have this same set - all original. There's no way you could stick that DTV box inside the cabinet with the original chassis.
That's also not the original back with a CRT cap so a 10BP4 wouldn't fit. That round "plug" shouldn't be there either. Channel knob is wrong too.

Here's what the back and front should look like. Here's a short video showing it in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqlkbpCaPoA

It would be a kick to see a pic of it with the back removed..... I wonder how much crap the sellers gonna get when it arrives and the buyer makes the same observation we did?

On the upside, its still a tv and no fish floating in the front hehehe

I'm surprized they were able to match the front so well. I would love to see inside. I thought about the room for the box after I made the post...

I'd like to see it too - it really does look like a B&W CRT.

Yep, nice cabinet too if anyone has a spare chassis.

The box in the back looks like my old Radio Shack RF modulator (newer version with S-video).

I emailed the seller. His listing now says that he'll email more photos on request.

Dear buyselltradecashregisters,

Is that a modern TV in an old case? If so, you should tell bidders. If you remove that homemade back cover and take a photo, that should clear up any confusion. Thanks. Phil

If i have time i will take off the back. I checked with original owner and he said he believes it is new TV in old cabinet. Let's go with that.

[Bill Cahill]

Will somebody please blow taps for that tv?

Oh that is just sad. Well at least it's an RCA CRT. Even though that might mean funai or some Korean junk.

When i first saw this, I thought the screen of the CRT looked a little darker than it was supposed to be. At first, I thought it was just the picture, but apparently it's a little more than just that!
