I'm pretty sure it's a Hotpoint with motorized tuning. If it were close to me I'd snatch it up.

That is a neat looking set,the control panel is very futuristic.
Too bad it's so far away.

Was it a remote controlled set because it had motorized tuning,or was it just a novelty to get up and push a button rather that twist a dial?

Olympic also used a similar control layout, but I believe the white/red flag logo was used by Hotpoint. Either way, a bottom of the line 50s set.

I had a '59 Olympic that used a control panel like that (mine didn't have the power tuning).

Definitely GE-built; GE name or Hotpoint...
