For heavens sake, you have to learn it! Without the ability to fix a tube color tv in a life safe way it makes no sense to collect old tvs. You should better give it up to collect vintage tv sets if you are not able to understand the schematics and the fundamental basics of color television technology. You won't probably find a well restaurated roundie for a lower price too. And even if you get one, the set might failure the next day and you have to fix it.
For me it is the much more exciting experience / adventure to fix and adjust a non-working tv set than to buy a completely restaurated and excellent working tv set.
You have to be professional in all the recapping and adjustment jobs before you can start to collect such old devices.

The Porta-Color is an all-tube color tv set. I didn't found any transistor on the chassis board. Perhaps the UHF tuner might have a transistor or a high frequency rectifier, I don't know. The schematics don't show the UHF tuner unit.
It was my first NTSC color tv set and I have learned very much about the problems of NTSC color in tube tv sets while fixing it.
