Nice. You can call that one the "top-of-the-line" 8" in '50. The key with these Motorola'a, like you wrote, is a PROPERLY restored chassis. A minimalist resto on these chassis's will often leave you with "pie-crusting", intermittent arcing, and/or jittery picture.
The best early electro chassis's proved to be Sentinel (also often used by Crosley and Silvertone) and Emerson. The worst are the Philco's and Hallicrafters due to HV fade.
