(1946 - 10 inch)
RCA announced the 630TS in October, 1946, at a price of $350, along with the seven inch model 621TS. In November both sets were advertised for sale in five cities. Over the next ten years, hundreds of thousands of these sets were sold. The chassis was sold to other manufacturers, who built their own cabinets. The chassis was sold as late as 1955, and with picture tubes as large as 21 inch.
