Wow, this is a really cool set.
Looking at the chassis, the main portion reminds me a lot of an RCA ctc-38. The positioning of the screen controls, the layout of the tranformers, etc. But in true DuMont fashion, it seems they took that chassis and overbuilt it which is probably why it is still "running." Another RCA tell tale seems to be the convergence board. The mount, board itself, etc, is identical to typical RCA convergence boards. Although it is possible if not probably that this board was shared by manufacturers.
The yoke assembly looks oddly Sylvania like to me as well. I wonder if in the late time frame of the company, R & D money was dwindling.
Man, I would love to get a color DuMont. So rare.
