Nice one! I wonder if it's from the Motorola or Matsushita era?

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?

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.

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

I think this is like the old Zenith console we had in Hong Kong when I was a kid. I remember that putting on a belt while standing in the front room, made the channel start changing. I wasn't old enough to be paying any attention to TV sets yet, but I did realize quickly enough that it was ONE belt that had a particularly "jingle-ly" belt buckle that would do this. The remote was a three or four button thing with the little metal tuned bits.

That set is long gone. One day it came on to only the top half of the picture....and as a kid, I thought the term "cracked yolk" was an odd diagnosis (of course NOW I know they meant "cracked yoke"). I think the TV disappeared after this...probly late 70s.
