I know their advertising said otherwise, if someone can prove who built these, I'd be interested. So many TV makers from that era shared the identical chassis, I've often wondered who built them and who just sold them.

The 7" models were built by Tele-tone.
Firestone had several manufacturers build their TV and radio products.
Stewart-Warner, Warwick, GE, Sonora, Wells-Gardner, Colonial, Sentinel and even Philco, for their later products. I probably missed a few, including Arvin.
They had, almost as many suppliers as Sears-Roebuck.
