Motorola with Fiberglass Case

1 Attachment(s)

I never knew any sets were ever built out of it, but here's an old Motorola I saw last weekend with a fiberglass case of all things.

Didn't the Silvertone Suburban (Suburbanite?) have a fiberglass case? Never knew Motorola used it for TVs, but I've seen one of their portable record players made of fiberglass.

I have one of these Motorolas also. I think the Motorola Ads of the time called them the FiberJet models.

I also have one of the Silvertones with the fiberglass case.

Hi,
Can someone post some more photos of the Motorola FiberJet Fiberglass Tv?
What other colors did it come in?

If anyone has one working or not I am interested in buying one.

I am guessing these came out roughly around the same time as the fiberglass Suburbanites?

Do you think that set is still available? I'd be interested in it if it is!
