Vintage GE 19inch CRT TV From 1983 Part 1

Found this TV thrown out I think last year or the year before. It does work. it was quit dirty so i cleaned it up a bit. Has on board VHF anntennas and a UHF bowtie that clips to the back of the TV for storage. Found some paperwork also that came with it. I'll revisit this TV later when I get one of the dead convertor boxes working again. Got 3 that currently don't work. 2 of them won't power on and one a capacitor blew up. I have the capacitors just need to solder them on.

I remember I had one of those little guys as a little kid. It was a hand-me-down from when we could afford a bigger TV for our living room (we were poor back then). So nostalgic to see this.

I have a similar one of these branded JCPenney. It's the same cabinet just like this and same year. But the front is different and it's silver and not woodgrain. GE pic tube because they made it. The speaker grill cloth looks similar to one of those Zenith Space Command sets from the same era.

TV sets were actually serviced back then. Imagine that. Nowadays, everybody just throws their $500 unserviceable flat TV in the trash when it dies. What a waste of resources on every level.
