That Moto reminds me of a black-and-white portable TV my dad's second wife's folks had in West Virginia in the 1970s. The control panel on the b&w Moto was identical to that of the color Moto being discussed here -- minus the color controls, of course. I'm not sure if the b&w portable was a Motorola or not. Were there other brands of TVs that used the same control panels as Motos? I remember seeing this control panel on at least one model of Admiral b&w sets here on VK as well; also, the 23" color portable TV in Oscar Madison's apartment in "The Odd Couple" ABC television series of the '70s had the same control panel. Would that set have been an Admiral as well?
