Somebody on here had one, a very neat style-sounds like the one TV Engineer mentioned. That may be the only one I really know about. It may be that all the GE roundies were RCA clones? Digging through a bunch of Sams would tell us. The GE rectangular sets were a GE design as far as I know. I don't know that their parallel circuit tube color chassis ever changed all that much. The TV we had in the living room when I was a kid was a rectangular GE and I had several others pass through my hands over the years. I'd kinda like to have a good example of one.

A note: I've looked close at print ads for the GE roundies from the CTC-11 era and it is clear they did little to disguise the RCA layout. What especially caught my eye is the screen bezel. Where my RCA -11 has a 'COLOR' emblem at the center bottom of that trim, the GE uses the same bezel but with the cutout for the emblem at the center top.
