That was really a closeout! The last Motorola roundie, was a 1965 model.
They designed a strange, series, transformerless chassis, that was only used with a round CRT, a TS912 chassis. It was similar to the newer TS914, with the much-loved Motorola color demod circuit. That chassis used many strange Euro-tubes like, 15DQ8, 16A8 and a 15LE8.
The only one I worked on didn't have UHF, so it must've been a pre-May '65 model.
