RCA's were always the bread and butter. I tried to keep flybacks in stock for them.

The Motorola I'm thinking of is the ETS908, which is the first color set I owned. My family ran the set for about ten years, until the 23EG got pretty weak.
The tuner needed cleaning every so often and I replaced about eight of the twenty eight tubes used in that chassis. It still had the original horizontal output tubes, when we quit using it.
That chassis wasn't as trouble prone as the smaller nineteen tube chassis.
