Odd Sears Color on eBay

[andy]

According to numerous newsgroup posts, 564 in the model number indicates that it was made by Sanyo.

I agree that it looks old fashioned for 1971. It's possible that the Sams wasn't published for a couple of years after the set was made. Can you see any date codes? Is it all tube, or a hybrid? I have 2 early 70's Sanyo color portables (one branded Sears) and they are both hybrids with solid state tuner, IF, chroma, most of the luma, and audio.
