Thanks guys, as usual, I'm speechless...
Donny: Yours is similar to mine. This 'un has a HUGE power transformer, and 3 output transformers... 2 for the midrange/tweeters, and one larger one for the woofer.
Nolan, I have just a piece of the lid attached to the hinge. Its mahogany, and a nice 1/2" slab would look nice. My roommate loves to stain wood. He likes the color that the Motorola is, currently.
The only drawback with this system to me is: NO RECORD STORAGE!
Its on and running now. Listening to local talk radio on AM. FM generally stinks around here... all automated programming! This one is FM mono. It uses a tuning eye. I think that it was mostly used for the phono, as the tuning eye only turns on when the tuner is being used. It is very bright and green, like it has seen little use. It had all the original pilot lights in it, and they all worked, but, I replaced them all with new ones anyway, while I had it all apart.
The first time I looked at this unit, the selector switch was good and tight. 2 days later, when I bought it, someone had turned the control past its stop points. Why do people do this? It took awhile to get the switches in the correct positions! At any rate, it is safe now.
IF a lid is available, it would really look nice in a new home. I wont hold my breath, though.
