The IF amp, however, is very chintzy. It looks like it was designed to avoid
patent royalties. It does have a very strange European look. Europeans were

The IF strip has two stages of IF, using the frame grid tubes like other US manufacturers. Zenith used three in the better models.
RCA used two stages of IF in several models.
That model Motorola set seems to be the for-runner to the TS914,18,21 chassis.
