Default Re: Worth saving?

I fixed one of these about 9 years ago for someone at work! It had the same distorted raster as that, and it wouldn’t stay switched on for more than a few seconds and smelt of burning. Sure enough the scan could had been eaten by the rubber wedges! I had a spare set of coils so did a swap ( they were from a modern Philips tv!) and got it running with a good picture, slight convergence errors in the corners which were only noticeable when using Teletext.

Worth saving? I’d say so, they must be a dying breed by now, and retro gamers might be interested in it for playing their old games consoles on, might make 30 quid on eBay if you try selling it!
