Set is probably a CTC-31. And yep.. wherever the display is, they used the wrong remote. The RCA remote would have been better. ( Everything motorized, and not step-up, like Zenith) That set was not that old when he shot it. Elvis had in the basement rec-room, 3 sets mounted in the wall, each tuned to a different network.
In his bedroom he had the $2000.00 RCA Console. I'm pretty sure his sets, up to a point, were all freebies from RCA. I also read nothing got pitched, which is why a CTC-5 is on display at Graceland. When Elvis died, Graceland was up to date with the utmost tacky 70's decor. After he died "Cilla" put it all back to the way it was in the 60's when Graceland was opened for tours. I also read Elvis was fond of Sony's when they came out, and am sure one is on the "Lisa Marie"
Sorry to go off-topic.... as for the Sylvania.. poor set looks beyond repair. Talk about rode hard and put away wet.......
