This TV is being sold as "for parts or not working" because it sometimes shows some horizontal lines near the top of the screen, which may be indicative of aging capacitors. They mostly show up on snow with no signal rather than with an actual picture. The picture also appears to be rotated slightly counter-clockwise, but this... can be affected by magnetic fields. I also hear a slight background hum in the audio. These issues aren't very noticeable in actual use, but keep in mind this is a very old TV that has not been calibrated or restored.
Aside from the aforementioned issues, the TV is in good working condition. The picture is very bright and colorful. CRT seems VERY strong and is blindingly bright if you crank the Picture knob up. Cosmetically the TV is in incredible condition for its age, and everything just feels like it's top quality. Beautiful chrome knobs that are a joy to turn. Chromed metal carrying handle on top. Antenna in perfect condition and extends telescopically. Nice orange glowing numbers for the channel indicators. All the adjustment controls work, although there is sometimes some static/distortion when adjusting, as is typical with old potentiometers that haven't been cleaned. The TV only has 300 ohm antenna jacks for inputs, so you will need an RF modulator and 300 ohm to 75 ohm matching transformer to connect it to consoles, DVD players, etc.
I understand the delicacy of CRTs and will do my best to make sure this TV is shipped safely and arrived in perfect condition. Thanks for viewing!
