Hi Greg,
I hate that feeling! That's probably why I keep hauling stuff home!! Unless that set was in pristine condition, the $150 asking price was probably too much anyway. As for the picture tube, it is probably a 10BP4 which is more common than many other crt's. I've worked on a couple of old tv's and they are a little intimidating at first but after a while it's like a very big radio with lots of caps to replace!!! It is really satisfying to get them to work though!
