Motorola never really folded. They just sold off the lesser profitable divisions.
Matsushita was looking for a plant to final assemble products, to avoid high tariffs. They were one of the firms charged with "dumping", that is selling products for less money than it costs to build them, to gain market share.
The set shown is a higher priced model with the 18 position varactor tuner with 6 UHF presets.
