They evolved into a crap can in a few years, FBT's brewed up
often & ended them. They faded into the sunset after that.

I've gotten several '80's AOC's with smoked FBT's. Even in the mid '90's, some of the FBT's were NLA and I junked the TV.
Speaking of Sylvania/Philco, I've got a 19" Sylvania from early-'82 (after the NAP buyout) that uses the E32 chassis; which, was a carry over chassis from GTE. I think that by the mid '80's, NAP had phased out all the old GTE designs and went with their own chassis. It's a shame that Philco, Magnavox, and Sylvania wound up being names slapped on low end Funai built garbage.
