Greetings and salutations to all. I have browsed this site several times in my search for information on the 1949 Motorola 9L1. A friend of mine had it, and asked me to get it working, was his grandfathers. So, I have been searching the internet for any and all information. It took me some time to even find out what kind I had. I thought, after first glance that I had a VT-71/72/73 "Golden View" (
http://www.radiomuseum.org/r/motorola_vt_73.html ), but it didnt look right. I continued to search, and finally found it. I have an 8" screen, and that was the sticker for me. Finally found the picture, I hope and pray I did (
http://www.radiomuseum.org/r/motorola_9l1.html). I have found one or two schematics for the chassis # TS18A, but they dont match as far as resistor/cap numbers or values. I have not even plugged it in yet, as I really would hate to let the magic smoke out of the tubes or any of the other equally ancient parts. I have had some experience in that area, and have never been able to get it back in, nor find an Electronic Smoke Installer, ESI. Any one that has had some experience with this television, of types close to it, or any resources, schematics and such, I would really be grateful. You will have to speak a little less technical to me, small words, short sentences, I have read alot of these thraeds, and it sounds like some of you have been repairing these TV's since they made them. Good to say hey to everyone and thank you a head of time for any and all help/advice.
