I mentioned earlier that my "Urbanite" bedroom set from the 1970s needed a new VHF tuner knob at one point back then and that RCA supplied one that was gray and not black like the original. Last night I was watching an episode of Hawaii Five-O season 7 and there is a scene where a character is watching TV. The set is either an earlier or later version of that same Urbanite model, with the exact same control layout but different colors and -- you guessed it -- a gray tuner knob! So that is where it came from. Strange that RCA would restyle a set cosmetically from year to year.
