I think RCA had two sets with that same chassis (DTV306?): there was a 36" 4:3 one they touted as "digital", and then there was the 38" HD one. That was a MONSTER: biggest 16:9 tube ever made and built-in DirecTV (dish sold separately). Around 200 pounds, plus another hundred or so for the stand under it. Under-spec'd diodes caused a lot of heartache with these. RCA, ProScan and Loewe all had versions of this set.

The $2000 one they only built 2000 of was called, appropriately enough, the 2000, and it was from 1969. Lots of fancy digital stuff in the tuner, but same 23" tube as any other RCA set from the time.
