I had one of these televisions a little while back. It was indeed a solid piece of work, played my old PS2 on it. I had to get rid of it due to lack of space, and literally no one wanted it. Ended up taking it to the recyclers and it was really sad.
My parents had a beefy console/floor model that they bought in 81 or 82. Push-pull power/volume knob, big honkin dial for changing the channel (which showed through a window at the top), decent-sized door that popped open to reveal the fine tuning knobs etc., the whole 9 yards. The tube was small by today’s standards but the enclosure was no joke lol. That thing was furniture. Lasted into the mid-2000s before it gave up the ghost, and didn’t make financial sense to fix it. The replacement was a total garbage CRT that barely lasted 10 years and needed to be repaired multiple times. But hey, it had that proprietary Xbox AV port for some bizarre reason.
I miss RCA
