Drat...found out! I was going to sneak this by this bunch and have my brother pick it up and deliver to PA. Same as grandma's set that her kids gave her that year for Christmas. My first view of color at the ripe old age of 8 years old. 50 years later I am still fascinated.

I have to check the cousins to see if anyone has pix of it.

Parents would not let us sit near the set for fear of our feet glowing in the dark from x-rays. Grandma's collie dog would sit in front of it knowing we were all looking at it and wanted attention. Usually "scram".

That set went to my dad who put some kind of "antique" blonde paint on it and it just chugged along until the end in the late 70's. I still have the speakers from the set in a cabinet for connection to anything.

This one looks like the simulated mahogany finish. I forget what grandma had.
