I have one of those sets. When restored, they are quite nice to watch and you can't beat that vintage styling. Mine is electronically restored but needs a ballast tube. While watching one night it just turned off as though the plug were pulled. One the filaments in the ballast tube opened. I plan to build a replacement ballast using power resistors. I definitely hope someone here gets and restores it. It is definitely a notch above the 7VT1 sets although the chassis are very similar between all the electrostatic Motorolas
