Maybe I'm wrong about it being a USA made set--Possibly it was some Japanese or maybe even Chinese origin set!

--It just sorta Looked USA made to me at the time years ago, Steel cabinet etc,--, Has all USA designation valves, like 17JZ8, 3AT2 etc....

Many thanks for the information!
I was hoping that you could source this information.
The set was made by General of Japan, as stated in the theory text. They were never a big player in the U.S. market, although, I did work on a few of their products. The small screen B/W Philco, that Ford sold with the Mustang logo, was General sourced. Everyone here knows what that set is worth.
Regarding the valves, Panasonic was the only Japanese concern that used, what we would consider to be Euro-valves in their products. Motorola seemed to run a close second.
