Three channel (tube ) amp with a 10" Golden Voice speaker and two 5" satellites. Power tubes are 6GK6s, which is one I have not seen before in a Motorola. It is a repinned 6BQ5 I believe. Only two power tubes yet three OTs. I have seen this with the cheaper Motorola 3-channels, but both of my Moto consoles have separate power tubes for each of the three channels.



And now for the TV chassis. The date is revealed here: Oct 1962.



He says that the picture tube is dead. Is that something I could test on my PACO 640 tube tester?

Oh, yeah, has a pretty clean VM record changer, too.

All this for $20.

Like i said, u would have been a fool if u didn't buy that set.
