RCA 1975 Color Television That Needs a little TLC

I got this from my roommate's brother in a small town in Minnesota. This TV has not been used for about 20 years. The tube looks like its bad, and I need to find my tube tester and correct socket to check out the tube. The TV looks like a 19" or 20". Not sure though. I found a bell like part inside the TV. I am not sure what thats for.

Did you rejuvenate the tv? If so where is the video and which rejuvenator did you use? Thanks

@RejectedManiac Check the video recharging a CRT. I used a B&K

@albertusj The material used in making those things is a LOT more valuable than the pieces of plastic they make today. The new 3DTVs are literally pieces of plastic that serve as HDTVs.

The 1970s saw some uuugly cabinets, while in the 50s and 60s you saw some gorgeous cabinets. Odd.

@chrisstv1979 Goodwill charges way to much for some stuff .

[chrisstv1979]

Not worth the money. I see many TVs at thrift stores that charge what a TV shop would charge. Except a TV shop gives a warranty.
