Motorola FM Tube Radio ??

[Chad Hauris]

Motorola was among the first to use printed circuits in radios in the mid 50's...the trademark for the boards was "Pla-Cir" (plated circuit.) and the back of the radio usually mentions this. The tube sockets were often built into the board itself, and the boards seemed to be high-quality. I concur this is probably early 60's as the tube sockets are not built in to the board and the FM tuner module looks like those used in the 60's,

Under the radio there is a label. It does says Pla-Cir. The tube sockets are in the built into the board. Does this mean it could be earlier than 1960?
