That Motorola looks similar to my 17T6, same knobs but with a wood cabinet. One of my first finds in 8th grade and I got it working with a few caps and a tube or 2. It should be a real easy one to restore. Beware of the metal ring around the screen, its where the 2nd anode connects.
Really like that Westinghouse!!!! Last edited by DavGoodlin; 05-24-2012 at 07:59 AM. Reason: add

sorry about Eric h didnt really intend to jump on your thread ,i was putting my pictures in document files of my tv's , and first thing i went to this website and was going to upload my pictures on a thread after i figured out again , i always see what everone talking about first ,and you must have just posted what you just bought, so i thought i would show you what just got home with . dint set out to jump on your thread or get that much responce about the tv's either i really was showing you. it just took on a life of its own ,so sorry about that.

Here's a couple pictures.
The CRT seems to have gotten worse, I think it's gone to air. The heater seemed dim to me when I first checked it, now it doesn't light at all. I can't see the getter without pulling the tube and removing all the yoke stuff and that's nore work than it's worth. This will probably have to go on the back porch with a blue tarp over it for now, even if I get a 12" tube I'd rather put it in something other than this.
