My Grandmother bought one back then, I thought it was 25 inch. Almost every time you would turn it on, all you would see was a white screen. 6 months later, replaced with a Zenith that lasted till about 1981...

If the one on the cart is a 23" then I have one sans cart...Uses the SODPIL single tube color circuit.

Motorola had at least two sizes, which were advertised at the overall diagonal tube size ("viewable diagonal" size regulations had not been set yet). I had just started there in 1966 and bought a 20 inch table model (actually 18 inch viewable, I think) from employee sales. If you recall a 25 inch set, it probably was 23 viewable.

The “21inch” console in the picture looks so tiny, dwarfed by the two guys next to it. I suspect that the tube was 19V size.
IMHO, better suited to a tabletop or cart. jr |

I may have misremembered the advertised size of the table model I bought. Could very well have been 21 "inch." Beside the vinyl-clad metal cabinet, the thing I recall is replacing the horizontal/HV section tubes once a year to restore picture brightness.
