TV used in "The Odd Couple" 1968 film may not be an RCA

The TV set in "The Odd Couple" (the 1968 movie that inspired the 1970s ABC-TV series of the same name) had a slightly different front-panel layout. I don't honestly believe it was an RCA, although I could be wrong. (How to tell it's an RCA if all anyone ever saw of the set in that movie was the side of it on the cart?)

BTW, reading Doug Harland's post made me wish I could go to hamfests again as I used to 25+ years ago. The Fort Wayne one is a bit too far for me, and I can't get to the ones here in Ohio (I am 47 years old, don't drive, haven't been outside Lake County, Ohio since I moved here four years ago from suburban Cleveland, and haven't been on a vacation in 25 years; to add insult to injury, I haven't been anywhere west of the state of Ohio in my entire life).

I don't get out much at all because of the foregoing (the fact that I don't drive and I live in a remote area some distance from Cleveland), but I would like to get to a hamfest once in a while. I've been a ham radio operator over 30 years; my call sign follows my name in my signature. Most of the people I knew when I was starting out in the hobby, and until about ten years ago, have since passed away or have given it up for one reason or another.

I'd like to meet KC8ADU one of these days. Ham radio really isn't fun for me anymore, since I really don't know anyone here in my town, or near here, who is active in the hobby (the one man here in town who is an amateur radio operator refuses to have anything to do with me, for some reason).

I also wish I could help out more on this forum than I have. The fact that I don't drive precludes my volunteering for AK's Pony Express; is there any other way I can be of help here? Please let me know. I live in Fairport Harbor, Ohio, 30 miles east of Cleveland, near Lake Erie. Thanks.
