Hi

Oh I never realised that, I think delta gun CRTs are more common (?) so the majority of videos I have seen were most likely for delta gun sets and some were even American and they have a slightly different system, I think - not too sure.

The tilt is bearable, but it'd be better if it could be straightened out, but I think i'll leave it. After all, it just adds to the character of the set!

I'm impressed too, I knew CRTs don't always have the greatest picture, and some being older, like mine, i'd have thought they "wear out" a bit, but I was really impressed when I turned the set on!

The whole set is in excellent condition, there are no scratches, dents, chips or anything, the only noticeable evidence of use is the power button fading slightly, and that's it!

Thanks
