That Philco looks similar to my model B310 in white.
Those were made by "Philco of Taiwan" about 1970.
Everything inside operated from 12 volts via pass-regulator, so the set could be powered from a cigar lighter with a bit of internal work.
IIRC, GTE did not buy Philco from Ford until 1974.

I think the Spacey set was made for 1973

Edit: My set does have the Ford logo and the channel selector knobs are different, but the bright-volume and on/off switch is identical.
