Nice set, Coach Mike.
It's indeed an early Works In A Drawer set as the front panel does not say "Quasar", but rather "Motorola Solid State Color". The "Solid State Color" wording disappeared from the front panel once the Quasar program was officially announced in September, 1968. At that time, the front panel wording changed to the new "Motorola Quasar" name. This set still has it's QC checklist and the 8241 code makes it an August 29th, 1968 build date at the Franklin Park, IL plant, so right at the end before the name change.
Everyone is on par with the estimated value based on it's working condition. As Zeno stated, HV rectifier is suspect if no picture, especially if the set stays on with sound (not tripping the breaker). Easy fix.
Its worth every effort to try and find a good home for it as they continue to disappear.
