Hopefully picking this set up on Thursday, with any luck. It's a blonde '62 Magnavox with a 27" CRT. Love the rounded screen, cool styling, and seemingly "advanced" features. It has a light-sensing photocell that automatically adjusts picture brightness and "power tuning." Is the 27" screen the biggest you could buy in 1962? Anyone have any information or comments (good or bad) on this set? Schematic availability? Tips, advice or common pitfalls? Someone warned me that the 27" CRTs are often weak or dead. Are replacements available or can they be rebuilt? Thank you for your help.
It's identical to the set on this link except the finish:
