As far as I am aware, all of the TZ models had round CRTs and porthole masks. It is difficult to identify Garod models as all the model information was only on the often missing back cover. This is why they are mis-identified on several websites, Maybe this CRT was a later "upgrade"?

I may have the missing knob. I'll check and let you know.

Tim,
I think your right about Tonys' set. You can see the newer style plate cap on the horizontal output tube. His chassis looks to be a TZ, maybe even a 15. I looked through Riders TV 2 thru 5 to see if there were any matches. Garod did use a 16" rectangle crt in late 1950.
