No affiliation and too far away for me to save.
Don't really know if it's a delta or inline tube or what chassis is in it; but, it looks like it's from the late '70's.

Looks like someone cleaned the control panel with maybe an SOS pad to brighten it up - and removed all the darn lettering in the process! At least the price is right.

I had a Sylvania Superset, bought new in 1979. Very similar to the set pictured but had ultrasonic remote and motorized tuning. It gave a great picture. Replaced the CRT once. The HOT used to get hot and cook itself so made an extra heat sink for it. It arced over at the tripler which I fixed by scraping off the black and doping it up. Tripler finally quit and I replaced it. I kept this set going for 25 years!

My Sylvania recently began to make a LOUD crack sound, but other than that no issues. I have not been able to see where its coming from (when I set and stare at the back is does not do it. Pretty random event.

these are among my favorite sets.i also would like to lacate a e-45 chassis with electronic tuner.i had one once and it was great.dont remember what happened to it.we had it in our recreation room and we had one of the first beta systems hooked to it.sylvania s from the d-12 to e-48 were so easy to repair and the pictures were superb!they always were consumer reports best picture winner during those years.my sister have a e-51 chassis in her basement that has never failed!1982 model that was a daily watcher until 3 years ago.i might pick it up.cabinet is mint and even has the hand unit.picture is very sharp after all these years.to me,this was really the golden age of tvs.rca xl100s,zenith chromacolors,sylvania,even the magnavoxs were something special.when the inline crt hit the consoles,i think tv went into the decline.those were fine days for me and remember them fondly
