7VT5 scored!

I was perusing eBay and stumbled across a Motorola 7VT5 in my old hometown. I arranged a local picked in the parking lot of the public library. Turns out the seller went to my high school - although he's a few years older. Ended up talking to the seller for 2 hours about the good ol' days.

Anyway, here she is. Somewhat different than zenithfan1's. It's a red-ish case and the knobs are a little different. Also, this has a TS-4J chassis while I think his has a TS-18?

A little beat up, but not too bad. Any ideas on cleaning and preserving that fabric (canvas?) covering?


Opened up. The accessories are missing


Odd CRT manufacturer - 'NU-VIDEOTRON'


Works fine in another set


TS-4J chassis in good, original condition. At least one old cap has blown.


Asbestos?


All the tubes and speaker are missing


I guess I have one tube after all. Some knucklehead mashed the HV cover onto the flyback and bent it over.


One big happy family
