Hello and welcome!

The sets in the bottom picture remind me of a Sears-Silvertone TV I had when I was a kid in the 1960s. It was my very first TV. The knobs were on top, just as in your bottom photo.

Here is one for sale on eBay now.

It's here in the USA...Indianapolis, Indiana to be exact.

As for your TV with the red cabinet, I'm afraid I can't help you with that. It looks to me as if it is from the early 70s or possibly very late 60s? I would bet on early 70s though.
