Interesting RCA TV in "Once Upon a Time in America"

[MrMaguire]

I didn't expect so many replies. Thanks!

Somehow I didn't think it was an American TV. I didn't notice the slider controls at the extreme left. That's very curious. I agree with dishdude, it probably is a prop. I bet they just took any old TV and put it there, then added the picture later on.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but that really does look like an RCA logo in the top right. I can't say I've seen any RCA branded sets here in the UK at least. I wonder who really made this one.

It's a QA video, not specifically related to TVs. But they have numerous videos on vintage sets. They even own an RCA CTC-100. I believe Spats Bear is a member here.

It does appear to read RCA, BUT it is not written in any font that RCA used for it's product name badges in that era. Most certainly it is a European set with an a fake studio added RCA badge glued on to confuse a euro audience into thinking it's an American set.
