I found one exactly like that in an antique store for $10 about 6 of 7 years ago, Of course they had it tucked away in a back corner as if they were ashamed of it. At any rate the set came to life plugged directly to wall current (no slow start) and worked well for several years until a fellow posted here all the way from Massachusetts looking for one to recreate a set from some sci-fi tv show that to this day I have never seen. Supposedly he had a hard time finding one and was such a fan of this particular show that he was willing to travel all the way to southern VA and pay me rather well to complete his project. You don't see many of them really. However, since I had that one I picked up another one that is identical (chassis), but has a wooden cabinet. I still have that one with a good CRT. Actually, even that one played well for a few hours. I pushed it to the side and it has remained there since. This generation of Motorola must have been made bullet proof! Too bad I am so far away as far as the need for a good CRT. If you travel, let me know...
