That's what makes these early post-war small-screen compact models so unique. The lay-out is much like a radio of the period with the tube off to one side where the radio dial would be and the speaker grill on the other. Once the CRT's got large by the early '50's the sets took on the typical boxy look. I always liked the way Motorola designed this model with the picture tube almost looking like it's bulging out of the cabinet!
