Everyone- thanks for the nice comments. From what I can tell with the notes on the manuals and the copyrights the set is from 1951.
As for the tuner one of my questions in the future was going to be -"What is a Continuous Tuner?" It is mentioned in the owners manual as a selling point and someone had written in the Sams folder that it is equiped with a "Continuous Tuner".
