I googled the chassis number and Radiomuseum com/org whatever says it is from 1960. there is one bad thing with this set, it has a tube brightner on it and is extremely dim without it hooked up. i don't suppose anyone has a bright 23gp4 lying around?
I did find a old advertisement on newspapers.com from Mar 61 where this model was on sale for $229 in Texas, must have been a close out sale.

Our radio club has one meet during the summer where TV's are included.
The CRT can be rejuvenated probably just once. I might wake up a little more.
