Digitally-enhanced photos below, if it helps anybody. Definitely woodgrain on the side of the cabinet, not black metal or bakelite. Definitely square top, not rounded corners. Focus hole on neck cover is at the upper-left (11-o'clock position). My small sampling of 3 RCA's from that time frame all have the focus hole at middle-upper-right (2-o'clock position). Did another company routinely put it at 11-o'clock? Does the dark-and-white sticker look familiar to anybody (maybe it's just studio tape covering the RCA logo...)? Was that particular design of rabbit-ears associated with a particular brand? How about the vent-holes?

Power cord looks to be going to a metal chassis inside (something shiny anyway), so cabinet might not be empty.

Positively ID'ing this TV might make it a collector's item, like Gilligan's radio or the Waltons' Zenith. Worth a try.
