1965 Motorola Black and white TV, curbside find

[MRX37]

UPDATE:


This is why I didn't have a picture! Must have knocked it off when I reseated the Horizontal tube!

Picture's back, but it's still bloomed out. Horizontal tube is obviously good. Where do I go from here?

Edit: decided to test B+ again now that the yoke was connected properly, and it actually went up slightly. It's now in the 265-267 range which is where it's supposed to be.

I guess unless you guys can think of something else, I'll see about procuring another 3AT2

I have several 3AT2 tubes in my tube caddy but the only problem is that I don't know where you live and I don't exactly trust the postal service with my mail (especially not my mail carrier).

Your state borders mine. (I'm in Michigan)

if packed well, tubes travel just fine via post office. I received a 12HLT today from California and it made it fine.

Whereabouts in Michigan? we could meet halfway and I could just give you the tube for a little gas money.

Like I said I have quite a few of those 3AT2 tubes in my tube caddy and probably will never use them and as far as I know they're NOS tubes.

When you see the blooming out image, does it look like an irregular shape?
If it's an irregular shape, it might a yoke problem. As a result, the set will not produce sufficient high voltage.
