Very cool looking little set.

Based on the knobs and newer logo, that was a 1969 or 1970 model. And by then, meeting price points of under $100 for BW sets dictated cloning a basic design which mandated use of compactrons to the chagrin of RCA and delight of GE

Thanks to Steve for posting the mini-console and JR for the ebay ad, the distributor's salesmen enjoyed showing those off I bet.
