No you didn't, all TVs (except the Korean models, which weren't
terrible) were reliable in the 80s. You can find these TVs along

the
side of the road, and I'll bet at least half of them still work.
They're very simple circuit wise, and well built.



I purchased from Sears "Outlet". ....1983.... a .Sears-LXI
(Sanyo?RCA?) 26" Model.. a true combo tv-channel 3 or 4 -

monitor .
Model 564-42951650 / 564.42952650.


564. model prefixes indicate Sanyo built. Most of these had RCA

CRTs
in them.




This puppy performs. I ordered an HD converter from DishNetwork.

I'll
get an LCD when this AWESOME crt tv fails me.


Performs? Most CRTs of this era have untinted glass which will

render
horrible black levels in typical room lighting situations. Some

high
end models used a somewhat dark tinted screen, others used an
exterior tinted glass cover.


Stop raining on his parade. He's HAPPY with something. So it's not for
you but it's good for him.
