From what I have seen, after 1965, Motorola(like many other manufacturers) became less interested in quality, mounting even the hottest tubes on PC boards. Zenith was just about the only exception.

Some of the higher-end B/W Motorola 1965 models were hybrids. The 1966 models were all solid-state, except the H/V rectifier. There was a hospital that had those.
