Can anyone identify the TV in this picture on Shorpy?
The panel looks somewhat like RCA but the side by side knob layout doesn't seem to match anything I can find.

Side by side knobs were common with Sylvania and Motorola in the later 60s or so. I'm leaning towards the former.

I can see it being a Sylvania possibly.
I can almost make out the knobs, they look kind of Japanese, like Panasonic maybe? or a Sears set made by them, or Sanyo?
I think I'll ask.

Maybe Montgomery Wards Airline? I have a Wards set which is probably early 70's which is a table top set but has a very similar control panel layout and knobs.

Store brand; Airline (as Chad says), Aircastle, Truetone, Coronado or Bradford? I think it's a Japanese chassis.
