Expensive Motorola
I don't care for the suitcase models either. I know they are electronically the same but the covering material doesn't seem to hold up well. My 9VT1 is in a red mahogany veneer cabinet with a glass viewing window and round mask. It just looks so great. I don't like the fact that many round tube sets have a rectangular mask. It takes away from the effect of having a round tube. I want to see the curves on the sides. Last night I watched Burns And Allen and My Favorite Martian on it using my portable DVD player and an RF modulator. It looked like an authentic broadcast, no timebase errors, tracking issues or vertical blanking lines. It must have been just how it looked when new. I am going to replace the ceramic HV caps I put in with tubulars. The vertical hold drifts too much when it's first turned on.
