The cabinet is definitely ornate, that's for sure. And the layout is odd as well, with low chassis under the CRT, and tuner way above, perhaps on a sub-chassis.
Seller had it listed as TV/ Radio combo, but can see no sign of a radio in the pics, will know for sure when I see it.

Bit more info.
Been trying to find something about the set.

Found...
Thank you for the inquiry. Color unit built 1963-1964 in Plant #2, Greeneville, TN. Apparently it was not a popular seller.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards,

It couldn't have been built in 1963. The Motorola 23EGP22 the first rectangular color CRT didn't come out until around 1965.

Weirder and weirder, if this set is even confusing an expert from the Magnavox Historical Preservation Association!

I do remember my grandma’s CTC-38 had an appetite for horizontal output tubes. Maybe by design…

That Magnavox is probably a T933 chassis, a vast improvement over the earlier rectangular color chassis U904, U920, T931.

What a strange cabinet, must have been special order to fit at the right spot in the customer's home.

If so, would make it SAMS folder 1005-1.

Things seem to be on track to pick the set up this weekend, had to abandon last week's attempt due to way too much rain over the weekend.

Those Standard Coil tuners always needed cleaning.
They used to sell a kit that had a special cleaner and lube, plus a foam pad that went on the cover with the lube. After a while, the pad deteriorated and cruded up the tuner more.

Can you post a video and/or more pictures showing how to disassemble a tuner and clean it?
