Motorola did seem to be an "engineer's company" but somehow never built the highest quality products, at least not top to bottom in their product line. I want to be careful here, as I know we have a former Motorola TV engineer in our midst! There was owner loyalty built up over the years...not everyone cared about sloppy tuners on their '59 Moto nor did they care about less than perfect color, since they didn't have much to compare it to. They bought those sets from George, their friendly local Motorola dealer. You know George, he coaches little Billy's little league team, his store is right downtown between the corner grocery and the Sears catalog store. George wouldn't steer you wrong...

Another company that I consider an engineer's company is Sylvania...their sets could make a very good color picture but they had their problems, too. The last one I fooled with had circuit board traces that would lift if you looked at them funny.
