19" console?

You think the OP set is better looking than the Toshiba set in post #11?

Different design for different reasons, are the way I see it. Both are good designs.

The OP's 19" TV on the craiglist ad, as I see it, has long legs, because it needs no speaker grille underneath, because the speaker grille is already under the tuner to the right of the CRT.

Post 11 has no speaker grill under the tuner and to the right of the CRT, so it has the cloth speaker grille underneath it.

My TV is like the OP, and I would think, would look great in that kind of console cabinet. I don't see it looking good with the cloth type speaker grill under it, because it already has a speaker grille built into the bezel, and would look odd in my opinion.

Now, had my TV for whatever reason, had no speaker grille visible, like on the side or something, then yes, I would definitely go for design #11.

If the price is right and the set has tubes, buy it and ask questions later.
I don't think you'll get hurt too bad. There's not too many of those around.

When I worked at Sears around 1990 or so, we had a replacement tube for this set in stock in our unit. I dont know what happened to it.
