Philco color sets from '61-62 used an RCA CTC-11 type chassis. '63 & early '64 RCA CTC-12 type chassis. Later production '64 & '65 Philco used RCA CTC-15 type chassis. Who built them or supplied these chassis to Philco is a question. Philco designed tuners were used in several of these various chassis. The model # of your Philco may pin down year of manufacture.
My source for this info is "TV Serving Made Easy" volumes 1 & 2
