In an answer to the question earlier in this thread referring to the chassis location as possibly being wrapped around the CRT....

In my youth, we had a GE set like this. Ours was in a more economy cabinet without doors.

The chassis was installed on a shelf above the CRT. The HV cage looked like a round can installed on the chassis.

Our set had a pair of 8" speakers... one on each side.

How do I know all of this? When we replaced the set in the early 1960's, after years of yearly repairs, it was given to me to tinker with... They didnt really think I could fix it, but I did, and got another year or so out of it before I did take it apart. I remember it having a lone 6AH4GT tube that looked really funky looking thru the back of the set at the glowing chassis.

I remember that the usual repairs on this set were always the same: 1B3GT HV rectifier, and a 6BQ6GT horizontal output. I still have a couple of the dead replacement Tung Sol tubes from this set, too.
