I do not know about the the audio side of Motorola consoles, but I do know about their B&W portable TVs.
I have both pre-1965 and post 1965 Motorola portables. The quality definitely is much worse on the post 1965 ones. They followed the GE/Philco trend of putting hot(horizontal output, etc) tubes on PC boards, etc after 1965. Before this, they were like Zenith with the metal hand wired chassis.
One big fault with all Motorolas that I have ever seen (even the 1950s ones) is that they used the horrible wafer style tuners instead of the much esaier to clean barrel type.
