On the other hand, I saw a "Consul Deluxe" table radio on one of the antique radio websites a few years ago; the name did not appear to be a misspelling. This may have been a private label for some Japanese radio manufacturer in the 1960s. The radio I saw with that name on it looked bad, with mismatched knobs, etc.; whether or not it worked, I don't know. I have never yet, however, in over 40 years of electronics experimenting, seen a television set, color or b&w, with the word "Consul" anywhere on the cabinet or chassis, though I have seen TVs, VCRs, DVDs and such with some weird manufacturers' names on the cabinets: Acesonic, Afreey, Anaba, Axion, Hiteker, Humax, Haaz, etc. (The names I just listed are from a list of setup codes for a General Electric universal TV/VCR/cable/DVD remote, but I'm sure they appear on today's Korean, Chinese, etc. manufactured TVs and stereos these days as well.)

I like that...I think if I were to go into the TV business, that's what I'd call my product-sounds important. "Come see the new POLYCHROME-AMERICAN!"

"Polychrome" sounds just like a cheap TV brand, or a feature name you would have seen on store-brand sets. "S. S. Kresge featuring exclusive Polychrome circuitry", and a logo on the front of the TV.
