I've found almost all of them over the past 35 years of interest in old TVs... but it's waiting and watching game. In my case, we had a GE 21" B&W console (conventional upright console with speaker below; not one of the ultra-modern ones which seem to be the collectible GEs). I've never found one in the exact cabinet, but I have found a couple same chassis and slight cabinet variation. The other was an RCA 19" Sportabout portable from the mid 60s... I bet the same or similar to what JCfitz is describing! Actually I've run across several of those, plus I still have the original one (belonged to my aunt, and I kept it when she passed away). The only one I still would kind of like to find, and have never seen, is a Hitachi CWA-200 12" delta-gun color portable 1970-ish; very early solid state set which had a big emblem on it "SOLID STATE/ALL TRANSISTOR" and no "IC-SOLID STATE" as the mid-70s Hitachis had. I went with my mother to buy that set at Fedco, and I wish I had kept it. I sold it when I was a teen, and after I had gotten into TVs and had installed bigger better sets in it's place. (The CWA-200 was a basic black plastic case with a handle on top, and no wood trim on it). The "cheapie", I guess you'd say.
