Motorola came out with the " Astronaut" 19" portable around late 1960. Like the Philco, it was considered to be a hybrid, because it had a HV rectifier tube. Sony came out with a 8" metal cased portable around the same time. It was the one that had the three push buttons, on the bottom front. That too, was a hybrid design.
