This Motorola b/w television was left in my house by the former owners. I tried to power it up and measured zero voltage on the transformer output. I guess that it's fried. I don't know exactly what model it is, even, because all I have is a partial model number (which is how I'm fairly certain that it's b/w). I have almost no desire to dig for a service manual or to figure out what else is wrong with it.
The idea of restoring the circuit is appealing but I'd rather have a TV that I can actually use (with modern inputs). The medial edge of the left 'foot' is broken (see below) so I don't think that's it's 'worth' restoring. The grille cloth and the rest of the cabinet are pretty good, though, so I'm planning to part it out and keep the cabinet. I'll have to measure once it's torn down but it looks like I should be able to shoehorn a 25" CRT in there...
Moving accident? Probably. This thing weighs a ton!
