That's a sweet set. I have wanted one with separate VHF and UHF knobs for some time. There was one at a friend's place when I was about 10. I would be stoked to find one like yours though.

The Consumer Electronics division seemed to the be sold to General Telephone sometime in the early '60's. Later, Philips bought them both.
The small town, I live in now had General Telephone, later Verison, now Frontier. Right now, my land-line is Time Warner.  |
My 1979 Sylvania carries the GTE logo, but the remote I'm using for it carries the NAP logo. No Sylvania name on that remote, but otherwise it's identical to earlier units. Must have been a limited run of replacement remotes made.
