That video had a soundtrack that gave the shivers, taking me back to my days learning how to work on TV in the mid-70's.
I saw few 1967 RCA CTC22, a cute 15" set, but it was NO competition for the HC chassis Portacolor. The 11" GE sets clearly were a better value and needed less maintenance, think mega 5GH8 failures for RCA here.
BTW and IMAO, GE and RCA TV sets had very little in common from the late 1940's up to the "reunion" under Thomson in 1986.
