Motorola VT71

Hi folks,

I have a Mororola VT71 but the power cord is broken. I had a rigged cord that I used to variac it up but could not wait for hours to see if I could check it out. I did see the tubes light and some crackle from the speaker but did not have sufficient power as I was scared my cord ay cause more harm than good.

I am not a TV guy and not sure where I may find a power cord replacement. The unit is in excellent cosmetic condition on the exterior w/ all knobs although the rear protective screen is missing and of course, the surround around the CRT is sagging.

Any help is appreciated. I just want to see if it is operational or if it needs a CRT. Not sure if they can be found unless a parts unit is found but a cool TV nonetheless for those who enjoy these.

Thanks for taking your time to educate a TV novice (other than watching).

Barry
