Motorola Reel to Reel Console?

[FLagent]

Hi, I was hoping to get some info on this console I have. I cant find any other Motorola consoles online with a Reel to Reel recorder? Does anyone have any info on this? Age, rare or common, ect..?

THANKS!!!

The design looks very early-mid 70s to me. The RTR has a "Sony" look about it.

Don't know much about the rest of the components, but the reel to reel deck appears to be a rebadged Panasonic. The whole unit looks like it's from '68 through '70 to me. After that they usually had 8 track cartridge players in them and a cheaper build quality.

R2R in consoles were an option, and mainly in the higher end units. Agreed it's from late 60's to ealry-mid 70's. It looks more Panasonic than Sony to me.

It is a 1969 model, the last year Motorola (as well as Zenith, RCA, Ge etc)
offered a reel deck as an option.

Yes, this is a 1969 high end Motorola console. Suspect Panasonic built the tape deck. Record changer was built by VM.

My '68 SK535 has what appears to be an identical turntable
