DOES this have any ss components??? It only helps with reliability.

Not really except for diodes in the usual places: LV and B+ Boost rectifier, detector stages. But it does have a transistor in the UHF Tuner which had become standard practice by this time.
These sets were produced around the 1966 timeframe. This one that I have has date codes of 66-30 on the CRT and the tubes were earlier . The Howard Sams was published 9-66 as folder 837-2.
