Nice find! Old motel sets are hard enough to find in any condition, let alone one that has not been abused. In the early '90's, someone that I knew that used to fix these for a local motel gave me one complete set and a bunch of remains for others. He said the motel gave him several of the old TV's when they switched to Zenith's in the early '80's. The one complete set had a bad flyback and there was not a good one in the remains that he gave me. I wound up junking the set. Mine was an 18" with, I believe, a low focus voltage CRT. Mine had a sticker on the top that read "for your enjoyment, we present Philco-Ford color TV". Under that were operating instructions for the TV and a warning about the set being connected to an alarm system, etc.
I also had a slightly newer 19" SS version of this set. That one had a toasted CRT as well as HV issues. It wound up getting junked as well. It would be nice if I could go back in time and get all those old TV's that I junked as a kid.
