Good thing I like Japanese stuff I want a '50s Moto color set more than just about anything else. I am just about as big of a Motorola fan as I am Zenith, they made many great sets and stereos. That deal they had with Drexel made the quality go to another level, That furniture feels different to the touch than machined pieces. Hand made is always the best. Motorola wired point to point well into the 60's when everyone else was using boards for everything. Motorola Quasar is when they lost their magic, along with most others in the outsourcing 70s that led to the demise of all the great companies and to the crap we have today but that is another topic.
