Did Sears ever use Bendix designs or chassis layouts in their TVs or vice-versa? I'm speaking of old b&w sets like this one. I understand Sears' first roundie color sets in the '60s, however, were RCA CTC-12 clones and were actually manufactured by Warwick Electronics; I had a Silvertone roundie in 1970 that could have passed for a CTC12 and likely had that very chassis.
