Locally, GE appliance dealers did TV and audio (as a sideline) or alternative to RCA. Unfortunately, most of the uber-cheap sets I saw were 57-later GE, in fact I thought this set was using a 17" CRT-based series heater chassis. The channel knob really threw me off until I looked at all the pictures. It was not unusual to find a cheap-model metal-cabinet TV in a farm dump, most had bullet holes
