The early AOC TV's had styling that looked similar to the last Admiral branded TV's.

I remember the AOC's never sold one but the earliest ones definitely
evolved from Admiral, even used same part # scheme. Rockwell must
have had it ready to go when they killed Admiral. At first they were good sets. MUCH better then the prev. 13-17-19"s. A one board set.
They evolved into a crap can in a few years, FBT's brewed up
often & ended them. They faded into the sunset after that.
