I guess Philco, Westinghouse, Silvertone and GE created similar whoop-de-dos, using a cheap chassis in a superficially fashionable set. I have two Suburbanite 21's that are doubler-supply series heater sets. The reduced component count made them less suitable in an a tough reception area.
The small town dealers who survived upstate where this matters seemed to have signs for Quasar, RCA and Zenith toward their respective ends. This seems to fit brands found of 50s sets at estate sales among other places.
Sets of late 50s that survived use in mountainous locations had to perform on the few available channels and that seemed to be RCA, Admiral and Motorola.
Unfortunately we had too many of these series-wired, PC board sets lurking around yet to learn on. Zenith sets only started showing up in the early 60s this far east, before that Motorola, RCA and Philco graced many a yellow pages ad in the 50s.
