Jim:
Are those the same sets? The one on the left looks like it has a different trim around the front of the cabinet. They are indeed RCAs but without being able to see the legs/feet I can not make a positive ID but the one on the left looks like a Model 21-S-521. Steve

I thought it was the same TV, Never noticed the different trim. Here's the only photo I could find showing the legs.

RCA 630 on a magazine cover in 2000
This is the cover of a magazine celebratring the 50th aniversary of television in Brazil, on the year 2000. But I strongly suspect that this is an American photo, because a 1947 model most likely WAS NOT sold here in 1950.

Amateur TV station? What was that? I thought only commercial enterprises received licenses to broadcast TV signals.

Amateur TV, abbreviated "ATV", is full-motion TV transmitted and received over ham radio ("amateur radio"). W6VSV is the ham radio call sign of the owner of the station in those pictures, probably in the 1950's. Here in the San Francisco area of California, there are many of us who send and receive ATV signals, and even a relay station ("repeater") on the nearby Mount Diablo with the call sign W6CX. The stations do not use standard TV channels/frequencies; we use frequencies in the licensed ham radio bands instead, in the UHF range. The Mt. Diablo station W6CX has its signal on 427.25 MHz, which is in the 70cm amateur radio band but is also the same as USA cable-tv channel 58. People here can receive this station by putting their TV into "cable-ready" mode and selecting channel 58, but using an antenna rather than connecting the cable signal.

Two pictures I found on two 1958 editions of "Revista do Rįdio" , a 50's Brazilian magazine devoted to the artistic and celebrity world.
The console TV is most likely an RCA Victor from the early 50's; the tabletop model is a Brazilian SEMP.

Bertie the Bunyip from Philadelphia's WPTZ-TV
I found this on tvparty.com
Bertie was a local kids show in the 50's. What set is the kid watching? A pretty good off-air shot with an old Brownie or the like. Dave A

I am almost certain that this set is a Philco.
