I have one of those in yellow hooked to an Insignia etc converter. They are great. Performing sets and well built too.

My dad had a red one. I have it now, to put it simply its been thru hell and still works great. The cabinet is warped and sometimes it'll go 3 years without being turned on but it always does and sometimes surprises me. It was probably the TV that got me interested in preserving older technology. Only quoted cause I've never seen another one, anywhere, nice to know how old it is though.

Actually, that exact cabinet design was used from around '74 until the early '80's with both tube and solid state B&W sets with (lower cost) the tube sets being in the '74-'76 era. The better performing and more expensive "XB" solid state sets were around from '74 until around '81.
