That Rangemaster control panel escutcheaon looks like a 1959 General Electric, I would not give up on that!
Im sure someone here can Xplain the connection between HMV (His Master's Voice) and (RCA) Radio Corporation of America.

The Rangemaster has a very similar front-cabinet design to the 1958 GE 21C2465. I know there were connections between AWA and RCA from 1956 onwards (for how long, I don't know). AWA used some RCA cabinet and chassis designs for their sets, as television only came about in 1956 here, and they didn't have the knowledge or experience at the time. I don't think HMV had any connections with RCA or any other American manufacturers at the time, though I may be wrong. There is very little information around for Australian televisions and manufacturers.
