Add to that Philco, Maggy & eventually Phillips & thats a lot of jugs.
They were also quite active in the rebuilt market.

On the chassis end last true Philco I remember was a little 9" B&W
football shaped TV, not a bad set. The colors were RCA SCR sweep
clones & real dogs. The first Sylvania/ Philco was the E08 IIRC.
Maggy became the builder of all in the early 80's. Probably the E32 was the last Sylvania. The NAP C-3 was the first I remember in all three. A real
over engineered POS chassis. Before that they had the C-1, the best Maggy ever. It only went in Maggys.

The set I grew up with was a 19" Magnavox that had either a C1 or C2 chassis (I can't remember; but, I think they were both basically the same). After that, they went downhill and I didn't care for the C3 or C5 chassis. Our Magnavox was ran hard until the mid '90's, when the CRT got too dim to watch.
