Mc2533 or ctc-9 or plain crazy?

That seems to be the consensus, So I think i am going to have to explain it to my son he will have to make due with a SS 70's or 80's I think.

Zenith always had ground problems with their ground lugs coming unsolded from the chassis tabs. Also, older thermistor/varistor combos used in early degauss can get real fragile and fall apart causing power supply problems.
Maggies have fragile circuit boards.
Solid state, non modular sets are good for traveling. I loan a Funai out when I service some customers sets and it has a good many miles on it without problems. Not to mention I picked it up on the side of the road and it didn't even need repair!

You sir have either discovered a very rare Funai, or are a liar.

You might wanna quit loaning out that Funai... a working Funai CRT set will soon become more rare then a working CT-100!
