NEED 19VP22 for Newly unearthed 19" MOTO 19CK1

[JB5pro]

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.

Bob,

You never posted what model CTC-5 you picked up on that trip.

Congratulations, Bob. I love a dramatic find!

That's nice and civilized doing the numbers that way. Many times people do it that way here in NJ too, but I've been to two sales where for whatever reason the people running the sale refuse to honor the "user-generated" number list. There was a distinct odor of bad karma on those days.

Awesome Moto! The chassis looks like they really wanted to make sure you didn't miss the fact that it was experimental!

As much a I always liked Motorola sets, that model never did much for me.
Of course, I wouldn't pass on getting one. I didn't like the hot chassis design with the heater transformer or the way it's laid out. Plus the Victorene voltage regulator and the impossible to get or substitute CRT.
Now, the TS905 is a different story! One of the sharpest looking sets, at the time, better designed chassis and twin 5U4 power supply.
IIRC, this chassis uses the same regulator circuit.

The TS905 (21CT2 M or B) uses a 6BK4 not a Victoreen (Sams Set #371, Folder 5). Nice set, for sure!
