The competition for the budget market in 1967 was the Magnavox T938, Philco 17MT80 and GE CB-21. I wonder how many other makes had one of these.

I repaired an RCA that had a stand like that. It had a CTC16X chassis, but the front bezzel was one from a CTC16E. Great set, for being the BOTL. I remember those sets were priced at $379.00 . The optional stand was made by Gusdorf.
