I remember the videobeam, found a Novabeam behind a TV shop during the mid-80's with a bunch of strange etches across the lenses. Turned out to be a fungus that actually ate glass. The Novabeam worked but what a giant pile of... well you fill in that blank.

Don't know what the Mag had originally, the original tube got weak in the 80's and the set was replaced with a System-3 that also eventually had CRT problems and I ended up with the Mag, that was around 1985 and I still have it. I replaced that jug with another used one I got from the neighborhood TV shop out of a Motorola drawer and it lasted another 20 years until it too went weak. The one in there now is an unknown that I got with a serious cataract and ended up breaking the face glass trying to remove it the summer of 2006, I'm assuming it's a Silverama given the shine vs the Motorola it replaced and it's never looked very good.
