  • Used and vintage listings vary by seller and condition — check the listing photos, description and return terms before buying

Manufacturer description

Turning it on, the screen is so bright that the scan lines back to the top can be seen. Crack in the grill on the top. After a minute it gets even brighter and the line at the bottom and the K goes out of focus.
