I had worked on both. IIRC RCA had one also ?

You'll have to show me some, as I've never seen a Philco or an RCA that would have been described as a "flying saucer".

Here is the Philco
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-RED-...item4d3348741f

With the 9" screen its not as dramatic as an Orbital but we called
them flying saucers at the time. Probably the same chassis as
the one here. Came in other colors, not sure if any were AC/DC.

As far as RCA goes I was not sure on that. They did have a wedge
shaped hybrid B&W I may have been remembering. That set was
a bitch to get the back back on! Not a good set. Ran too hot & the
PCB's were not of the usual RCA quality, etch lifted easily.
