In the later 50's they bought the left-over inventory when CBS Columbia quit building radios and TV's.
They put a paper sticker over the CBS logo on the back. Heat from the tubes dried out the glue and the label fell off. A decent hand wired AA5. Better than the PC board competition.

I have a VTVM I got at a hamfest stamped, "Property of Travler Color TV Department," so they at least did some work towards one of their own.

It puzzled me, when I saw a label on a 1935 Philco radio that stated: Philco Radio and Television Corp. Philco didn't make a television receiver, for sale, until several years later. A few others had the term "Television" in their firms name as well.
