In some of the even later sets, the knobs can't even be pulled off the front - the chassis must be pulled out the back, off the knobs.
Thats exactly the way this RCA is built, I couldn't get the tuner knob off until i pulled from the chassis side.

Let me guess, the five tubes are 35W4, 50C5, 12BE6, 12BA6, 12AV6?
Yep

No power transformer, the power cord is connected to 35W4 tube socket and then to the on/off volume control.

You just need a little extra respect when working on them while plugged in. (Touch the chassis while warming your feet on the baseboard heat, as I did at age 12, and suddenly YOU will be plugged in!
I'm glad i asked.
