Yes. I had a nice Rank Arena portable that mum threw out because of a broken power switch, it was a pull switch, I should have kept that P1 because one went for $150 on ebay. man, if someone can find me one in a thrift shop just lemme know, and btw has anyone replied to my thread about pictures of everyones collections? ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ "I'd rather have a CRT than nothing" - me "people just throw working CRTs out, it is NOT FUNNY!" -me |

Ah, Rank Arena! They don't seem to die, do they? I have a 1979 Rank Arena tabletop, which sees multiple hours of daily use (and almost all-day use on holidays and weekends). Still, the CRT is still in great shape, with plenty of brightness left in it. |

Yes, they're all NEC products. My C-2014 tabletop uses an NEC chassis (not sure about the CRT and tuner though), with an Australian-made case. |
