My Philco has the original RCA 21FBP22, with a plastic safety glass in front of the CRT, that is curved to the shape of the CRT, like the fit of a bonded safety glass. This Philco also contains many RCA brand tubes in the chassis, that seem to be the original '63 tubes. The cabinet and bezel and knobs, etc. are not RCA looking design, so either Philco made or had those items made for them to use with the RCA chassis.
Thanks Dave, Upon removing the chassis, I found the chassis to be RCA, the tuner assemblies are Philco which explains why each tuner has removable wiring harnesses. Have installed new Crt, now working on power supply and checking caps. In looking at chassis from the bottom the PC boards have Rca stamped right on them
