So let's just guess that this thing was on the floor for Christmas of '59, and possibly in your house by 1960 (if things moved as fast as possible).
Looking at your picture, I can tell you a little more about this set-there was originally an antenna strung around the back in a single loop, and it has now been torn off, and dangling free. I wouldn't be surprised if your parents didn't keep this set going too long, as my Olympic was such a headache. What was the tv you remember growing up with, while this one sat idle?

Thanks! That sounds about right, after talking to my folks this week. I was born in late 1964, and I never recall this TV working, just sitting there looking really cool and I used to poke around with it, turning the knobs, ect.....lol The TV I remember us using was a color set, no idea what brand though...
