How long does that thing take to warm up?

For that matter, is there a little white light in the center of the screen that lasts for a few mins when you turn it off?

Well, it is a 1982 Zenith we got in early 1983. I remember watching Michael Jackson "Thriller" on it as well as Ronald Reagan's "Evil Empire" speech. She does show her age a little, when new, she took 15 seconds to warm up, now it is a minute. Still has a great picture like it is new. BTW, I believe very old TV's have that dot in the middle when you turn it off, I think it is a capacitor discharge through the flyback transformer.
