Once Philco was sold to GTE, Philco branded TV's were nothing more than rebadged Sylvania's. When NAP, who owned Magnavox, bought Philco and Sylvania from GTE in '81, all three brands soon became rebadged NAP TV's.

Whoever took over Ford car stereo manufacturing from Philco used leftover Philco parts at first. One of mine, a later-1975 model, had the Philco name on the dial, and "Aeronutronic" on the sticker on the side. I blew that one with an improper testing procedure. At least the freshly cleaned and lubed 8-track player lives on in an earlier '75 in which the original player head showed excessive wear.

Batavia was Sylvania headquarters. Philco-Ford was a pioneer in Taiwan, I'd guess you'd say. I find Philco stuff from any era interesting. We had some friends with a Philco-Ford color console that, I'm pretty sure, was solid state. (if not, it fooled me) After the guy got divorced he moved in with my father and I and brought that set with him. It seemed no better or worse than any other 70s set. I have seen pictures of a set that was at least similiar to the one pictured, probably in a copy of Electronic Technician or some other trade magazine.
