Unknown motorola
1 Attachment(s)
Has anyone seen this motorola before? I found it in an abandoned tv shop a few months ago. I looked around on the internet for days and no results.
|
Any chassis/model numbering on it?
Looks like there is a nice Zenith belo...Err, on top of it. |
I cant read the chassis number because its a little to crusty but it starts with "ts". And yea thats a 1967 zenith b/w.
|
What TV shop was this at?

It was owned by a guy who mostly sold zenith and Westinghouse but did some repair on the side, and it was in a 1890's general store.

Looks cloes to a 1956 or 1957 21 inch.

Was Motorola a bit ahead of the game, with "lowboy" styling as early as 1956? I don't remember seeing many before the 23" models were introduced. :scratch2: jr |

It seems, that was the last year, Motorola made their own tuner. The next years models used either Oak or Standard Coil tuners. :scratch2: |

IIRC, I have a set just like the one you have, as well with the original CRT. |
I just found the chassis number, TS-544

Does that have the octal "service" receptacle on the back. There was 4-5 pins you could check vitals from, AGC, B+, ground oscillator AFC and something else.
