Yep. My family had a Sears color set c. 1964-65 that had that approximate shape/size screen.... It wasn't quite a "roundie" in the traditional sense, but it definately wasn't really "rectangular" either. IIRC, it was a Toshiba, & it was a maintenance "bear", gave LOTS of trouble. My dad finally said the hell w/it, & got one of the 1st Porta-Colors in E. Tennessee, which ran 18/7 for years w/nary a burble. He sold the ill-starred Sears to a guy he worked with, I think it worked fine for him for years & years...The Sears just didn't like us, I guess...
