Looks like after over 20 years of service (that's right!) Twenty years, one of the 6KV (that's all I could get back then to replace the tubular) ceramic discs in my Motorola VT71M-A failed. I rescued this set from a pile of garbage around two years before that and the owner of the shop I worked in roared laughing when I told him I was going to get it going. I find once these sets are up and running, they are pretty reliable. I just ordered new 6KV caps for the five in the set. I guess it's about time. It's still fun to have this old set running when cable service is needed and thie rest are hidden away!
