Most real wood pre-1950 RCA's that I seem to remember have the large panel veneers flipped, while this one has both door panels turned in the same direction.

Funny, despite the $469 price tag, the veneer on the 9TC275 doors is printed. Frankly, I think the cabinet is fairly basic and cheap (by 1949 standards).
I just think the point-to-point wired electronics and the new 16AP4 just made it expensive to manufacture.
The more expensive 9PC41 had real veneers and a better cabinet.
To fulfil my curiosity, what 1950 set had "real" veneer on the front doors?
