Very cool that you found one! Are the knobs included?

IDK. All I know is what the picture shows. I'll try and find out some more details.

The knobs aren't with the TV. She will look for them and also provide a picture of the back and maybe get a model number for me. Fingers crossed.
I'm hoping the knobs are in the back of the TV.

And a chassis because I don't see any shafts in that picture, and yet the CRT seems snug up to the front.

Even going back to the late 40's some makes mounted the CRT to the cabinet rather than the chassis (even though we tend to think of that as being a 60's and later practice)...

It would be a shame to just have a shell, but one (if sufficiently desperate) could probably take a RCA or Zenith chassis of the era adjust front control loactions and rig it drive the CRT and fit the cabinet to be convincing from the front.

Yeah, it could be just a shell. We'll see.

Here's a picture of an Arvin TV on eBay. Sure enough the picture tube is separate from the chassis. It's not looking too good for the home team right now.

It's still possible the chassis is loose and setting back further, or that it's some place else in the same room. The seller, if they're unaware, could have looked right at it and never put the two together. I can't imagine how they would have been separated by much distance, unless there was a fish tank experiment in the making.

Yup. We'll find out. I'm thinking that this TV is at her grandparents house, which she is disposing of all the stuff. I'll know more when I get a picture of the back.

If it is missing from the picture, you might reference that ebay photo, to help her know what to be on the lookout for.

Yeah. I'm going over there on Sunday morning. Here grandpa also messed with radios and other TV's. I'm hoping I can find it in all the mess from cleaning out the estate. At least it is a start.
