"There are no scratches, dings,dents, of any kind it is mint shape for age."


Either it is a photographic artifact or this seller has a very VERY loose description of MINT.

Is somebody going to email the seller and ask? It almost looks to me that there is not a CRT there. It might be the safety glass and the back of the cabinet. Wish it was closer and I had some cash. I would go for it.

That would be like stopping to ask for directions!!:nono:

polaraman 11-21-2006 06:29 PM

OK! Then!! Email the seller and ask if a remote control comes with the TV. :D

There's a soft plastic glare filter between the front glass and the CRT. It's melted and wrinkled, and the very center is stuck to the front glass. It was originally gray, not yellow/brown. I'm sure it would scrape off. Looks like a good CRT behind it. If it had been stored in a vacuum from day 1, that filter would still probably have decomposed, so it's probably technically correct to say it's "mint for its age". Rest of the set looks mint for any age.

I tend to agree with that...looks like just bad plastic to me. I don't think you could get that look any other way.

Still pretty good plastic:

I never knew Fada and RCA were the same. That is an RCA with the Fada name on it for sure.

i want it

Sandy G 11-27-2006 07:29 PM

Yeah, looks like a 630 clone. I'd go for it, if they weren't so horsey about shipping.

fujifrontier 11-27-2006 07:33 PM

with my luck it would arrive broken

Sandy G 11-27-2006 07:43 PM

Yup...
