I agree !

What really impressed me with that set is the fact that it is designed well enough to have the hot running power tubes at the top of the chassis . Having the 5U4 as well as the horizontal output and damper tubes well above all the other electronics means that things like the IF cans and caps wont be baking in the heat of these tubes . So many sets I've seen had the power tubes at the bottom of a vertical chassis , where did the genius engineer think the heat was going to go , down ??? Or maybe those manufacturers purposefully had the power tubes on the bottom , all the better to sell TVs every few years as the circuits get cooked in the rising heat from the ill placed tubes .

It's great to see the thought put into the design of that Packard Bell , That would be a set I'd be proud to own ......

PS , the way the rectifier and horizontal output tubes angle down like that kinda reminds of an unbridled set of breasts , happily swinging free of the unnatural squashing effect of the Bra
