stan cash had one of those back in the big 80s.it had a zenith crt and the picture was really something to see. the original crt was really a lousy pic-reds were orange.blues were greenish,etc. he installed a crt with a light gray face. he always used that crt. stan was one of the first color techs in central ohio. fine eye for those kind of things. it was some set and i believe it is still in use today. stan passed on a few years ago and his friend billy got the set. lucky guy!

By a strange coincidence I got one of these for free this morning. Mine's missing the remote and has a dead CRT, but I gladly took it. I've got a couple of Zenith Chromacolor CRTs, so I'll put one of those in if possible.

That's an incredibly worthwhile set to save.

I am too budgeted now to get it to Florida. I have wanted that remote set very much. I'll be surprised if I ever get one but I'm keeping my hand unit just incase I get lucky!
I also believe that series was a very good and reliable system if you have a good CRT for a good enough picture. A friend of mine, Ed Callahan of St. Petersburg made a good living selling and servicing Motorolas from about '63 till the '80's
