My grandparents had an early '70s sears 25" set that was good. It said silvetone on it. If I remember right they got it around 1972. It had a bright picture with strong color. It lasted about 10 years without any issue. With the exception it would give you an electrical shock sometimes when you touched it at the wrong time. They gave it up because of a tuner issue that would be expensive to fix. The picture became very blurry with lines around the objects on the screen, like it wasn't tuned in.
Before the tuner issue a sears repair man came out to check the set out for adjustments. He took the back off and I could see it had tubes.
Not sure who made this set, On the control side of the set, it had 3 horizontal slider controls at the top. Top was volume, second and third was color and tint. Then the two tuners. just below that were two push buttons side by side. Left one was AFC , Then On/Off.
