Here's a real challenge for someone

[zenithfan1]

I felt like a challenge, I threw in a bid. I won't go very high though I wonder if it could ever work again, or look like it would.....

The challenge being to restore it, or to take it out of the box without getting dirty???

If nothing else, maybe you'll get it and find a good CRT. Might have been replaced at some point. Isn't that one of those toobs that normally fizzles out prematurely?

That set has lived a hard life!!

Yeah, I think this is the 21" CRT that's prone to burn out. The 17" CRTs aren't so bad.

I'm afraid that set would not only get me dirty, but if shipped it would likely turn to dust in the box..

Well, I'm out. 17 bucks is too much even though this things only a half hour away. I already have too many projects waiting for me to finish my shop area so I can restore them. I've been dying to work on a set lately and have nowhere good to do it right now. I'm not taking the chance on a fizzled out tube either
