Was your wallwart beige in color? I think this one comes with one too but it was hard to tell. I could see a beige looking cable in the background plugged into the back of the radio with what looked like a 1/8" mini plug.

I assume it was the lytics that were toast on yours? I had an Admiral solid state phonograph that had a bunch of dried out caps, they were those solid plastic lytics with the red epoxy on the ends and had an ESR as high as the sky. After a recap, the thing came back to life. I assume this radio uses similar type of caps? Maybe nashville caps or something of the like.

But yes, indeed its a very close design concept to Zenith's TO. Im surprized Motorola didn't put out something similar as those big three were just a few miles away from each other.
