RCA 630TS - Modified with Motor

[maxm]

I got this set today at an estate sale for $20. The owner had been an electrical engineer and had a lot of home-made electronics including audio equipment and computer items.

This set appears to have had a lot of modifications done to it. An electric motor was added as well as some additional controls and connectors on the chassis. Would this have been for a mechanical color wheel? I assume there would have needed to be an additional control chassis for that. There were a several custom built chassis at the sale, something may have been for this set, but by the time I bought it a lot of the stuff had already been sold. There were projects there that appear to have never been finished, maybe this was one of them. I haven't yet removed the chassis to see what was modified underneath. The motor has a multi-conductor cable that leaves the set.

Cabinet is in OK condition for age, but is missing the safety glass and top clip for the glass. CRT is a 10FP4.
