I grew up in front of this exact model. My grandmother had it. Took forever to warm up and made that neat pinpoint dot in the middle of the screen for 2 minutes after turning it off waiting for the photon gun to cool. In the early 70's we got a Magnavox Odyssey game system for it. I can't tell you how much 3 Stooges, Lone Ranger, Andy Griffith, Looney Toons and Price Is Right and PONG I absorbed through this box growing up.
What year was this Motorola console made? My parents had a Motorola console very similar to this one when I was very young. It kept blowing tubes or something so it got replaced by a Quasar TV in 1976. Are the speakers 2 or 3 way?
And... was there a function on the stereo amp portion that routes the TV sound to the speakers or is the TV totally separate?

Nice entertainment system and I have that same "Calyso" album too! My favorite track is "Day O" from Beetlejuice.
