He sure was a brave soul for plugging it in! I'm surprised he didn't get any unexpected bangs or pows! From the looks of the chassis, you'd almost certainly expect some smoke.

No smoking!

Looks like he's amended his description... An' yeah, for $3K, that thing shoulda been A-1 tip top shape...I MIGHT go $300 w/him, but he'd hafta deliver it...

"The set was pluged in and all the tubes seemed to light up."
How about the broken one with the white top? Looks like it has been in a very damp area. |

I've had two of them, and neither had the stamp. One was the table model identical to this one; the other a console.
The seller eMailed me back, and says he now believes it's the 21AXP22. The mask is a dead give-away. I've only ever seen two sets with 19VP22s in them; my Hoffman prototype and one of two CBS-Columbia 360s that I've had. All other 19" sets I've seen or owned, had 21" tubes installed. The other CBS 360 has a real hack job, where scissors appear to have been used to make the mask enlarged! Charles

I can't tell if the chassis is still copper colored or if it's rusted?

I do like the shipping estimate from England to the US .... only GBP 80. by Royal Airmail

Isn't that the same Motorola that sold over the summer? Looks like the seller cropped those photos down.

Yes, it looks like member Cheetam (cheat 'em? gotta love it) waited for the original page to be removed, then immediately put up his own auction page, an almost identical copy-and-paste of the August auction.

There have been fake auctions of a few of the nicer things in my website. In one of them, the "seller" offered to ship my 250-pound Scott radio/tv/phono combo from Peru to the UK for an absurdly low charge. They copied everything from the article, photos and text.
Unfortunately, I suspect the risk of running a fake auction is about the same as failing to pay state sales tax for an online purchase. Sure, it's attempted fraud, but what can eBay do but cancel your account, which was probably a fake identity in the first place. I picture a 17-year old geek in, say, Latvia, posting fake auctions on, say eBay UK, and hoping someone will eventually bite. Phil |

Holy crap David! How'd you find that? What an a$$, I flagged the hell out of it. We all should. Let's try and keep an eye on this guy. Good work finding this.....
