I'm the guy who just bought the Motorola. I've been interested in getting a vintage tube type TV, but wanted one that was already working. The set is still in transit from Chicago, I'll let you know how well it works when it arrives and is all set up.

Someone noted that the CRT for this set is still available new (in fact, when is spoke with the seller, he pointed out that the picture tube was replaced along with all the capaciters and four bad vacuum tubes). I'm curious to know where you can get replacement picture tubes since if I'm going to keep this set for a while I may as well get a spare or two while they're still being made. I also fool around with old cars, and know all too well many parts are made of "unobtainium" if you wait too long--spares are often a must!

Any other suggestions you all may have on the care and upkeep of a vintage tube-type TV is also appreciated, of course!



Thanks,
Joe
