    I had a 13 inch B&W from Montgomery Ward that my girlfriend bought for me in 1977. She worked for Wards and it cost her $50.00 with her discount. She worked in the department in the office that paid the bills for Wards for what they purchased she told me that some stuff had a 300 to 400 % markup on the items they bought. One thing I remember her telling me that they bought a box of 6 men’s Arrow shirts for about $16.00 and the went out on the rack for $16.00 each. She bought a lot of stuff from them and saved a ton of money. The department she worked in was called Invoice Records just a little thing for everyone to know and think about.

    I grew up on this set. This was the first TV my parents ever owned. Their first house in VT was off grid and used a 12v car battery electrical system, hence the need for a DC set. After they moved to NY I grew up watching this until they "upgraded" to a Magnavox RR1330 sometime in 92-93 lol

    I have one of those.
    Robbed a few parts for a small Sony TV a few years back.
    I would love to find another and add a video input to it.

    Interesting. We never had a tv smaller than 19". Except for 7 inch TVs for a individual gift or use. Which only got used a few times for an hour or so.

    Just in case your croc clips lead goes OC or intermittent, it might be worthwhile verifying a discharge with a meter.

    That's an old looking set, but it looks fresh.
    Even the inside looks fresh :-D
    Someone will enjoy that set, but a freeview box will be needed.
    Ooops freevew is our tv box..
    No we still have to pay the BBC a license fee.
    I gave up t.v a loooooong time ago.

      We're nearing that type of overregulation with the introduction of ATSC 3.0. Subscription television over the air. I only watch the few channels here OTA that play Nostalgia. Shows and movies from the previous decades. If it becomes a subscription service, there's almost no point in watching tv for me anymore.

      A dam shame :-( i gave up on tv a loooooong time ago, and if they made it free i would still ignore it.
      For your t.v repairs, i imagine a vcr and patten generator would be your test.
      Dam shame :-(.

      We were forced to have a freeview box or buy a new tv with freeview.
