I don't think I've seen a Sylvania like that. I wonder if it's from the NAP or GTE era? It probably uses an E31 chassis and they produce good pictures. They do have issues with bad solder connections and bad electrolytic caps in the power supply.

The GE sounds like a "BC" chassis set; which, used a Panasonic built chassis. The flyback transformers are bad about blowing up in these.

I also had a lot of flyback problems with Sharp TV's.

The Mitsubishi, RCA, JVC, or Sylvania would be what I'd look at. The only thing that would hold me back on the Mitsubishi would be if it was made after the mid '80's. It was sometime in the late '80's when they started using bad electrolytic caps that would leak, literally, all over the chassis.
