The remote control looks like one of the ultrasonic ones like the Zenith Space Command. If so, I would say this was from the Motorola era.
Is this one of the "works in a drawer" Motorolas?

Wow, super nice!

That was a high dollar set in the day.

she had the original receipt from late 1971. She paid $679.

afaik, it predates matushita by about 4 years. They weren't involved until about 1975-1976.

and yes, it is a chassis in a drawer layout. As far as the remote, it is the metallic non infrared type, just like the zenith.

My cousin and I figured out we could cough in just the right way and activate the channel changer. Used to drive my grandparents nuts!

Later they added a third button for channel up and down.

I think that control layout was short lived as later ones were different.

have heard a dog with a collar or a set of keys will change the channel

Hard to believe they had such "Square" CRTs then...Is this Bad Boy a hybrid, or all Soiled State ?

Sandy, That is indeed soiled state, 1972 and not the first SS Motorola color either, similar to my TS-938 in #5 of this thread http://videokarma.org/showthread.php?t=257310

Nice Set Technicolor - that is a fine addition to your museum of USA's best TVs!

Well, all good things come to an end. The set took a powder on sunday morning.

Fortunately for me, a vk member really wanted that set and i was able to make a trade for the roundie picture tube i need bad.

He's got a lot more skills than i do, (doesn;t everybody) so that set is going for a full resto.
