Motorola 19CK1

Is there any other condition BUT "Broke" ?!? I'm glad Harry's listing the set...At THAT price, the fishtank crew are NOT likely to get ahold of it & RUIN it...

Nice...but a little too far out of my price range.

For all that noticed...since I make my living selling vintage TVs, I usually can't afford to 'collect' the TVs...or I'd have loads of TVs and no house

For everyone that wondered, I did plug in the TV (briefly), and the vacuum tubes lit, including within the high voltage box, but the CRT did not. The CRT filament is either broken or burnt out, even though the tube appears to have vacuum--no white deposits on the neck, and no deposits that are visible inside the tube.

So, this will be a problem for restoration (unless RACS gets going), but I have to say, even when I sold the RCA prototype a couple years ago, that developmental CRT was working, but recently failed...so it has become an unfortunate reality, that most of these glass-metal early color CRTs might not make it much longer.

Harry, certainly you are entitled to do whatever you wish with the vintage equipment. Some may criticize but it is yours to do with as you wish. At least you have the good sense to find these items and pass them along to those who wish to collect them. I am moving to Florida (four 17' truckloads so far!) and I have come to the realization that I need to "cull the herd". I hope you do well and that the person who purchased the set can enjoy it.

We all have our own ways of doing things.

I sure understand the selling of things for a living.
I'm probably just still suffering a little from post Santa trauma. Maybe some of you guys from my generation can relate.
