I left the swap meet, before you got there.
I bought a Motorola portable type 7" gold faced set. A TS4J, built in January, 1949. It's the most complete set of the model, I've ran across. The carrying handle is a little ratty, but all the proper knobs, set-top antenna and base, back cover and a spring-hinged auxillary control cover on the back, as well.
I never knew, the control cover existed, as they all seemed to be missing.
It seems, the last time, this set was repaired, was in the early 50's, so it needs total restoration.
It does have the glass ballast tube, which is good.
