That set looks almost exactly like one I had that was purchased new in 1983. Mine was branded Wards but it was definitely a Sylvania. The set had a metal chassis to which the circuit boards were attached. The only thing that really bothered me about it was that the picture tube had such a heavy tint to the glass that it always looked kind of smoky, like watching it through sunglasses. It was well made, though. By the mid 1980s the quality of electronic products took a nosedive, except perhaps Sony.

If someone can get it, it would be worth saving.
