I picked this set up on Sunday afternoon. The seller told me it had been retired in the mid 80's.

When I got it in the house I put it up on the kitchen counter on Sunday night, the wife gave it a quick once over with a damp cloth as it was covered in fluff and dust, it must of sat in a bedroom for a long time.

Against my better judgement, I said I wonder what it will do (I don't usually do anything in the house with old gear), so expecting the bang I plugged in.

The set came up straight away! I've had it running for 5 hours so far today with no issues, CRT is lovely and bright.

The convergence is out quite a bit and it could do with a good deep clean, though it will have to wait it's turn to get on the bench.

Quite impressive for a set heading for 50 years old and a real testament to Japanese engineering.
