MOTOROLA

Several variations of Motorola boxes passed through our hands, both Motorola consumer products (including the Quasar name which was sold to Matshushita, Panasonics parent) and Motorola C&E (Communications & Electronics), the two-way radio division.

The three on your left are general replacement boxes. I remember having some that had the same design as the 3rd from your left, but green where the maroon is. The other boxes are Motorola C&E. I left the flap open on the center box so you can see the connection to the Communications division. The small box at the bottom center is properly sized relative to the others. It was just barely big enough to fit a 9 pin minature tube (12AT7 etc). The idea was to get more in a smaller caddy.
The tubes from both divisions were always first line, but they did not make any themselves. They were made by GE, RCA, Sylvania or other top manufacturers. Tube writing on all versions were green, yellow, red or blue depending on the actual manufacturer. Date codes were standard year-week.
