The close-up shots of the chassis don't look like anything that RCA made (that I have seen, anyway), but RCA perhaps licensed some of the circuitry to Toshiba.

Back in the mid-60's, Sears had two suppliers for the 18" table models. Toshiba and Sanyo. The Toshiba's were a little higher end. The Sanyo's had more CRT and Flyback failures. Most customers had maintenance agreements on those models, for at least a few years.
