Identifying a Craigslist set?
 
I was randomly browsing Craigslist today and came across this old set in the free stuff section:

https://allentown.craigslist.org/zip...840972599.html

It looks early 80s, maybe late 70s, but I can't seem to spot a brand logo on it to figure out what kind it is. Does anyone who's more familiar than me know what kind of set this is?

I would guess Sears, I've seen that logo to the left of the volume control knob before.

Definitely a store brand loss leader. Very low end set, maybe a rent to own like Colortyme.

Hard to tell, but it looks like the 'atomic' Arvin logo to me.

May be an Admiral or AOC with a store brand. Detent UHF puts it
1974 +. I would guess 78-82. A SS Admiral would be a good catch.
Nobody has one here to my knowledge. SS Admirals & early AOC's
were pretty well built. CRT looks OK to good.

LFOD !

It looks like a real low end GE, sold at Sam's Club. A last of the Portsmouth built GE's.

I'm kinda glad it's too far away for me to bother picking up as I already have a 1978 RCA set I'm not doing anything with...

Agreed, I'm pretty sure that's the logo Sears was using in that era.

Sanyo built for Sears; the basic style of the tuner panel looks like it.
