can carry 4X8' plywood flat. Easy 3 or 4 consoles. All for about $20 K. Damn handy thing to have but I still rather drive my old Crown Vic. 73 Zeno LFOD ! |

This Motorola was one of the last flat chassis wasn't it? The TS915 was the first works in a drawer. All the 1969 and later models were WID. Some were hybrids and others all SS.

I had one of those 23" BW consoles, it was a 1965 or 66 and had the same control layout.

I've got a table model with a similar control panel and near identical chassis....Wish I could find the UHF and On-Off/vol knobs for it.

I checked my spares and did not see one but I did find the fine tuning - a double-flat larger shaft yet looks the same as the on/off, a half-shaft

That sounds like an Admiral CRT. Motorola at one point made a deal to buy Admiral CRTs for some Moto sets. The engineers at Moto were all grumbling predictions that we would be eating a lot of warranty costs on those. Don't know what Admiral's problems were (poor evacuation? dirt?) but they were the first to offer extended color CRT warranties with their sets (2 years) and that really wasn't enough.

Another quirk was replacement of the 6LE8. The replacement had to be a Motorola branded one, either a Japanese or GE sourced one. Using an RCA or other brand, the tint range would be affected. |

They probably made as much profit on a pocket pager as on a TV set, without the warrantee problems. |

It's been doing well, since a lot of it is still original, it gets kinda crabby sometimes but always looks good after it's warmed up. I watched a lot of movies and anime on it with a great picture.
