We were told not to try to turn on since we haven't even plugged it in since the late 80s. Highly doubt if it works. Hasn't been used for over 40+ years. Pic is actual tv. I'm guessing it's from around the 1950s. Great mid century item to stack crap on top of it like we do. Make a fish tank, or get new tubes and a foil antenna and watch black and white reruns.
