Hard to believe they had such "Square" CRTs then...Is this Bad Boy a hybrid, or all Soiled State ?

Sandy, That is indeed soiled state, 1972 and not the first SS Motorola color either, similar to my TS-938 in #5 of this thread http://videokarma.org/showthread.php?t=257310

Nice Set Technicolor - that is a fine addition to your museum of USA's best TVs!

Well, all good things come to an end. The set took a powder on sunday morning.

Fortunately for me, a vk member really wanted that set and i was able to make a trade for the roundie picture tube i need bad.

He's got a lot more skills than i do, (doesn;t everybody) so that set is going for a full resto.

The buyer has informed me that the motorolas didn't have the high quaility caps that zenith did. The seller has now confirmed that the set hadn't been touched in years. ANd was finally fired up this week. So apparently, it had one last gasp of breath in it, plugged it in on sunday morning and it started shutting off after a minute or two. My guess is caps.

But i'm not complaining, sure was cheaper than a what a roundie crt is going for these days.

I get the crt i need, and a buyer who has been looking for one of these sets for awhile and who has the skills to repair it finally get;s the set he is looking for.
