13" GE color TV from 1982

[ARC Tech-109]

Had one as a teenager, good set for the Nintendo of the day.

Our every encounter with them was a 'griplet nightmare' or Portacolor from hell in trying to pin down the intermittencies.

Great sets once you labored over them with a hot iron for awhile. Not difficult to service; but time consuming. The main filter cap would sometimes also go bad causing jailbars or a sensitivity to mains sag. Other that that, I can attest to the fact that the electronic tuner was more reliable than an RCA of the time (CTC-117 era).

The CRTs never go bad. 13VAMP22*. I have a high hour example and the tube can still blind you without defocusing on high contrast scenes.

Just a benefit of GE making their own tubes....EIA 188. When Sylvania made their own, those were always superb as well.
