The 23" motorola what a nightmare
 

Everytime I see a picture of that series it brings back nightmares. Never saw a good red on those guys, but it has a great orange. Old people liked them because the picture had no detail, I guess they liked the smooth picture better.

I offer a gallon of gas and a lit match.

God.. I NEVER saw a Motorola tube set that had a picture worth a sh*t. We had a few on our service route. They were always a pain to work on,always glitchy, and NEVER had a decent picture. Surprising tho, because Motorola's were considered an "engineers set" They were overbuilt, and built like tanks. They also cranked out some beautiful all wood cabinets, and were expensive. Such a waste for how horrid they were.

So should I just make an Aquarium out of the one I have (and can't get rid of) :D

Eric, No.. because you could turn it into a daily watcher and have the best repair skills of us all because you would have to repair it every day. LOL!

Ad read cabinet by Drexel
 

I think that line said it all, no need to go into all that technical babble, because the cabinet was as good as it got.
