Need help identifying this set

[Sterlin]

I'm not sure is this is the right place to post this, but here goes nothing
This beautiful set belonged to my grandparents and is unfortunately long gone, but I'm having trouble identifying what brand/model it was.
I've been trying to figure it out for over a year now but with no leads I've decided to let some other people who probably know a bit more than me have a crack at it.

The leads so far
-This photo was taken in 1962, so it's likely from around then

-My mom recalls it was black and white and the left side had a record player.

-Both of my grandparents worked at Montgomery wards, so my mom assumed it was likely from there, although looking through the catalogues for the time I cannot find anything resembling it

-My grandparents were NOT wealthy, so this likely was not some expensive brand

Does anyone know what brand or model this was? Any leads are greatly appreciated!

It's definitely monochrome. It wasn't until late 1964(the 65 model year) that rectangular color CRTs came on the market, and it's obviously not the older round color CRT...Also color was 2-3x as expensive as monochrome back then (it wasn't till around 68 that the bottom end loss-leader color sets achieved price parity with mid tier monochrome) so if they weren't well to do they wouldn't have had color.

Montgomery Wards house brand of electronics back then was Airline (basically they paid other makers like Wells Gardner, Admiral, and Muntz, and by the mid 60s Japanese makers too, to build sets and slap the Airline name on).
The controls remind me slightly of Packard Bell. It looks like a bottom tier combo with a monochrome TV and AM only radio (possibly a record changer hiding in the top too). It also looks like it has no UHF tuner which would mean it predates the UHF tuner mandate of early 1964.

Most TV makers would have 1-2 monochrome TV chassis designs a year and would stick them in dozens of different cabinet styles, some with a radio/stereo system some as TV only. If you can find a TV with the same control layout you can bet it has the same guts as that.

Possibly Olympic?

Name tag is long so i thought Maggy at first BUT.
Nothing else fits & cabinet looks to cheap.
Could be an early JA set such as JVC, Delmonico, Nivico.
I had a portable "combo" B&W from them @1965.
The spindly legs also point to JA.

I suspect that it is related to this 1959 Muntz:

Photofact of a similar Muntz from 1964:

Those four control knobs like that sure remind me of something but I can't put my finger on what. It does really look like a Magnavox logo.

EDIT:
Hmm...I think this is a Maggie, folks. Here's a non-combo version from 1958 with the same name badge and same controls. The reason it looks so cheap is that it's a table model with optional leg kit: https://live.staticflickr.com/3908/1...96a5da0d_k.jpg
