Motorola Color Roundie TS-912

[drh4683]

Motorola seems to have always had a pretty robust flyback design like Zenith.

I believe the first Chicago UHF station was WCIU channel 26 and went on the air in February, 1964. WFLD channel 32 was next in 1966, followed by WSNS channel 44 in 1970. Those were the earliest. As the years progressed, many more stations came on line. Up until the shut down in '09, it was fun to tune across UHF on the old sets. There were close to 20 UHF stations going.

This Motorola looks like a factory UHF to me. I don't know if they offered this control panel with the UHF knock out, did they? I have a couple rectangulars with the TS-914 that used this near identical control panel. Mine say "All 82 channel" but they are '66 models. Its hard to see in the photos, but does this one say "All 82 channel"?
