1967 Motorola Back to the living

[holmesuser01]

Our Motorola 23" had a neon light that came on to indicate a color show. The shop that replaced the first CRT (of 3, before Dad said, ENOUGH!) bunged up the killer circuitry, and the neon light burned steady from then on. Until then, it was fun to see the light go on and off with the color programs and/or commercials.

Ours punched a hole through the doughnut on the flyback and arc'd to the cage. Scared my mom really bad, as we had already had a color set (RCA) burn in the living room. I bought a replacement FBT for it, and kept it until the 3rd CRT died. I think I was watching it when I saw that Elvis had died.
