The 23EGP22 earned its reputation the hard way, one crummy CRT at a time! I'm glad you got one that performs well.

Fun thread. This is exactly what made TV fun for this "accidental tech" in the mid-70's.
Crazy Color is what I call Motorola's method, now that I read the post from JDPylon explaining it. GE had a wacky method for color as well. It seemed like Zenith took "re-inventing color demodulation" to the right level. I still want to find one of these in the worst way....R U Making any trips south Timmy? |

There was another odd-ball color demod circuit, used at the end of the tube era. It used a 6MK8, or it's series string variants. Magnavox, Warwick and possibly a few others used it. |

The 12A12C52 used the small PC board, with DIP IC on it. |

The set you have is simular to the one I had. That set has the more complex color circuit using seven or more tubes. Ets908. The last year for it.

Nice set. That one is older than my Motorola was.
That cabinet reminds me of a Maggie that I had once that had an unobtainable flyback... at the time... that I junked. I kept the cabinet for about a year. It was similar to yours in cherry finish. Dark... beautiful. I still think about it today. |

this 908 chassis looks complex and is a big chassis, i am more used to the rca or rather i like working on the rca chassis.

It's called " familiarity ". After working on all the sets that were RCA clones. Motorola and Zenith never cloned RCA designs. They also never bought RCA chassis like many of the others, to include color sets in their product lines.
