I thought all the Silvertone color TV's were RCA knock offs  , mainly because they used many of the same tubes. The console Medalists looked like an RCA clone. The PC boards looked very different than RCA tho, almost like Admiral's did. |
The first Silvertone sets were genuine RCA chassis, IIRC CTC12 & CTC15.
When RCA decided to license the building of clones, Warwick changed the design slightly and those were the most common sets built by them. The chassis layout was different, but the circuitry was very similar.
There seemed to be two different versions of the set shown. The later version was a better design and used less tubes. That's the model I have!
