RCA TA-129
#3

You '50 RCA probably has that hard to find, metal 16 inch CRT doesn't it? I have another combination with one of those and spare parts. Used to have a spare CRT too until it decided to actually crack up the face while I had the CRT tester on it. One moment the tube neck was glowing, I heard a crack, saw a flash inside the tube and that was it. Luckily it didn't implode there in the living room! This one uses a 12LP4, which I have a possible spare of.

No matter where you go, there you are.
