Actually I've come to learn that this is a 1950 model. I've had my eyes open for this model for many years, but it has proven to be a tough one to find complete and in good condition. I like how Motorola squeezed the 8" CRT into a cabinet that is more comfortable with a 7". It has an odd "bulging-eye" look that appeals to me. This is the end of the line that started in 1947 with the VT-71 and they had the chassis nicely tweaked by this time. A good player when restored and nearly as comfortable to watch as a 10" set. I refreshed and detailed the cabinet, but the chassis has not be on the bench. I'm almost afraid to check if the CRT is good being it's a rare one. Wish me luck!
