International Bidders are welcome to participate, I am offering eBay’s Global shipping on this listing.


Vintage 1949 Motorola 7VT5R, Red 7" Portable TV. Cosmetics are good overall with some small scratches and small stains/dirt here and there. The antenna and stand that stowed in the lid are missing and the leather hold downs are gone. There are many scratches on the clear plastic face over the CRT face that may or may not polish off. This set has the correct original knobs. Be sure to see all the photos below including close-up shots. 

 

The chassis was completely recapped by someone at one time and a quick test shows it lights up the picture tube and sound is heard through the speaker right now. I did not test any of tubes but did test the Philco 7JP4 picture tube. Sencore CR70 Test: H-K Shorts - Good, G1 Shorts -Good, Cutoff - Good, Emissions - Good and the Life Test is just Good with a slow fade. Lights a medium bright at the moment. There are no scratches on the face.
