I expect it is close enough!

I asked for a photo and said we would like to buy it or they should put it on ebay.

Hahahaha

Those Germans on Hogan's heroes!

Klink and Shultz were absolutely hilarious.

Bob Crane was very cool as well although I don't know how cool he was off-screen.(haha)

The only thing I remeber good about that set was some of the cabinets were made by the Drexel furniture company. That was one of the worst color set ever!!!!!!

It is interesting that Motorola, being of the highest technology then like today, would have come out with a TV with so many built in problems.

Could they have done that intentionally for some business strategy?

How could they not know it was crap when they look at the color and it is not as good as the compitition?

On top of that, they charged a higher price for it and people still bought them!

The engineers had to know the color circuit was not good enough at the very least.

The Motorola executives had eyes to see the lower picture quality.

They would not have had the profits they could have had with a better set they could have made as the consumers also had eyes to see the picture and buy the compitition.

Could they have wanted to loose money as the evidence strongly suggests?

The secret decisions of big business are extremely interesting.

This is a conversation that could lead to something very

worthwhile to learn.

Andy, I do trust that you know what you are talking about and I very much appreciate your input.


I had no idea that Moto products have so much negative about them.

I have always been impressed by the look of many of their products. I have always had the impression that the company is unbeleivably huge providing many products to the world since at least the 50's. They have impressive advertising and I have never heard the many consumers, I have been in the company of, complain. I have never heard or read any bad publicity about Motorola in general except here at this site from people who obviously know what they are talking about and have absolutely no reason to lie or exaggerate.


So, why has Motorola been such a successful company that must make a lot of money for a lot of people without having any signs of business problems? All things indicate they are strong as ever and expected to continue with their success.

Thanks

My grandfather bought recieved these Motorola

pens in 1966 and they still work great! He also uses a Motorola cell phone that is 2 years old and has never failed him once!

I am starting to wonder if the complaints here against Motorola products are for some personal reason.

I hope not as I would like us all to continue saying nice things or nothing at all!

mine does too. it also is horribly slow when deleting text messages. You can be typing a message and if one comes in there's a 2-3 second delay while it "thinks"
