The TV we had in the living room when I was a kid was a rectangular GE and I had several others pass through my hands over the years. I'd kinda like to have a good example of one.

A note: I've looked close at print ads for the GE roundies from the CTC-11 era and it is clear they did little to disguise the RCA layout. What especially caught my eye is the screen bezel. Where my RCA -11 has a 'COLOR' emblem at the center bottom of that trim, the GE uses the same bezel but with the cutout for the emblem at the center top.
Thanks for the sleuthing bgadow, much appreciated
