Pulled from a large tube TV, this one is a real head scratcher. I think it's an RCA chip but all RCA chips I've see use a different part naming scheme (for example CAxxxx).

It's like the parts RCA A23 346-1, and the RCA A23 1101-01 but there's no record (I can find) that lists RCA making parts of this series.

Can anybody identify the IC from the picture below?

According to Sunergia, A23-837-1 cross references to RCA part #176226. Encompass identifies it as TA7630P, a DC controlled dual volume, balance, bass, treble audio IC. This matches your chip's package and country of origin.
