Also yes, you are right about the Internet blowing things out of proportion. They sold many of these sets and I'm sure many were saved over the years because of their unique design. I also suspect many tried to fix them with very little knowledge of vintage TVs and quickly got frustrated and blamed it all on a poor design. The reality is that despite the unusual styling and component layout, the circuit design is typical of a late 50s TV.
