I recapped this set, so I assume its operating normally upon power-down.
The raster shrinks to about postcard size before disappearing, so the anti-persistence switch is unnecessary?

On a side note, this set makes a nice picture but its moderately stretched in the middle and only slightly compressed at top and bottom when Hieght and Linearity are adjusted for a normal half inch of overscan.
I can probably blame the integrator K1, an RC network which shapes the vertical sawtooth. This is definetly has post-predicta improvements, and cost cuts as well.

I am a bit surprised a set of this type would not be cold. How much more could a nice cold chassis cost anyway? We ALL kn ow they have a LOT of advantages..

I seem to recall my Grandparents having a set like this one (chassis-wise), until about 1980 or so. I TRIED to get that one--but my mom's family never were very kind about me getting old electronic things .."too dangerous', they always would claim..
