Wow, what an awesome TV! It will be a true miracle to get the CRT but seems like this is the place for it to be found. To see a picture on a TV like that as it would have been working originally would be a beautiful thing to experience.
I knew a TV man who would have serviced such sets when new. He opened a Motorola sales & service shop in St. Petersburg, Fla in '63. Ed Callahan. Another awesome man who is not with us. I looked his son up online and discovered he is gone too. So, this just reminds me that is is a great thing to get any history of things whenever possible.
Is it difficult to get the name of the owner of this Motorola? I would want to speak to his friends and relatives. The process would be a wonderful just to meet and discuss all relevant to the TV while honoring the man who saved it. Maybe someone remembers the CRT and knows where it is or one like it.
I agree with the logic mentioned that it likely was taken home without it but we all know that stranger things happen all the time! Perhaps the man took it home intending to put the bigger CRT kit in it. It would not surprise me if you find the CRT at his nephew's house waiting to go in another Motorola on the first of Never.
