I have some of the parts, including the missing knob and possibly
also the slide pot for the one missing. I also have a new picture tube
in the original box. The set is a 25" but was later redesiginated as 23"
It may have been Motorola's first mostly solid state set, I think the HV rectifier was tube. It was a Works in a drawer set. It was not the first solid state tv, and no where near the first rectangular picture tube. Not even Motorola's first rectangular CRT. Still it is a unique set and worth saving if the price is right.
