Apart from the unusual cabinet layout, it has two HOTs in parallel, a 6BK4 regulator, and a surprising number of transistors in the sound and chroma circuits for 1967.
Has anyone ever actually seen one? The only Delmonico set I've ever seen is a small, B&W portable.

One of my neighbors had a set like that. I never saw one before or since.
It seemed strange at the time, so I asked the owner where it came from? The neighbor, always the bargain hunter, bought it from a Zenith dealer. I don't even remember what was wrong with it, bad tube or something! IDK what happened to it, as they moved out of the area shortly after.
