Anyone know this tv?

Hi, I recently found this tv on Craigslist, and I don't know the brand of it so I wanted to see if anyone here does.

It has the simple four knobs and jewel light at the bottom like the 1949-52 RCAs.

Probably RCA, but it could be a Philco split chassis.

Those are indeed very similar to each other in appearance, but I also vote RCA.

That's definitely an RCA KCS47 chassis. Not one of my favorites.

Nice looking cabinet though!

Yeah, I was told that the outside was customized a bit, but if they can do it so can I.

I saw that too on Craigslist, but passed because I am in south Ga and dont have a truck. Like you, I was stumped as to what make it is.

Looks like a Philco split chassis set, but most likely RCA manufacture. KCS 47 chassis a good bit, some of those got customized.

As an internet user, I must declare

I've seen hundreds of different tv styles on there

I spend hours just browsing, quenching my thirst

Their cabinets strike me, from greatest to worst

But never before, I've now decreed

Have I seen a TV set covered in tweed.
