Last model year for Motorola-designed Quasar sets?

I read that transcript...wow, you really can find anything on the internet! I think I watched that show back when it first aired. Some very interesting information there. Really changes my opinion of the company.

I mentioned the 19" Motorola Quasar I had; at the same time I had an early 80s Panasonic. The resemblance between the 2 , as far as the cabinets, was uncanny. The Panasonic was assembled at Franklin Park, according to the lable, but had a Japanese CRT & chassis.

Up in the attic I have what I think is a full set of modules for a set and it is hand marked "Panasonic". There appeared plenty of American style Panasonic consoles (nothing but Quasars with a different name, I'm sure) after the buyout.
